Comment 52 for bug 830440

I upgraded from natty to oneiric beta 2 today and Skype is one of the problems I've encountered.

If I try and follow the instructions to installed the i386 libraries using apt-get it asks to remove ubuntu-desktop and unity (and a bunch of other things).

I saw that 64bit skype doesn't exist on oneiric and we should just install the 32bit version. I removed the version already installed and tried to install skype through software center, again it wanted to remove unity and ubuntu-desktop.
