[Pkg-ia32-libs-maintainers] Bug#536077: Flag [arch=i386] in sources.list behaves as though ignored

[David]

Package: ia32-apt-get
Version: 22
Severity: grave

I cannot install skype via ia32-apt-get. The line in my sources.list is:

deb [arch=i386] http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable
non-free

and I ran /usr/share/ia32-apt-get/convert-all-sources.list

But ia32-apt-get behaves as though it were ignoring the flag [arch=i386],
because although "ia32-apt-get update" does not complain about skype's
repository, "ia32-apt-get install skype" cannot download the package.

I solved the issue by downloading the .deb from skype's site, and

# ia32-dpkg -i skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb
# ia32-apt-get -f install

Thank you,

David
