I have been having problems installing i386 (32bit) packages. Most ideally Skype as it's only 32bit even though a Multiarch is available.

I've made 32bit available by doing:

Code:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
Every time I put in:

Code:
 sudo apt-get install skype
This is the error I get:

Code:
Depends: libqt4-dbus:i386 (>= 4:4.5.3) but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libqt4-network:i386 (>= 4:4.8.0) but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libqt4-xml:i386 (>= 4:4.5.3) but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libqtcore4:i386 (>= 4:4.7.0~beta1) but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libqtgui4:i386 (>= 4:4.8.0) but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libqtwebkit4:i386 (>= 2.2~2011week36) but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: sni-qt:i386 but it is not going to be installed
I have tried fixing this by doing:

Code:
sudo apt-get install -f
But it still reproduces the error. I have also force installed Skype by doing:

Code:
sudo dpkg -i skype-install.deb
But then the application doesn't launch.

I've also tried cleaning and updating the source lists:

Code:
sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update
Also..

Code:
sudo apt-get autoclean
But nothing changes.
