Doesn't work.
This is whats happend:
[root@Humlan jan]# urpmi ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/m ... noarch.rpm
Following packages can't be installed because they are dependent of package which are older then the installed packadges:
libdri-drivers-9.1.3-1.1.mga3.tainted
libmesagl1-9.1.3-1.1.mga3.tainted
libqtwebkit2.2_4-2.3.2-1.1.mga3
get-skype-4.2.0.11-5.mga4.nonfree
Continue installation ? (Y/n) Y
While some packages may have been installed, there were failures.

Can you please check you have enabled the update medias for the 32bit medias.
ie. Core 32bit Updates, Nonfree 32bit Updates, Tainted 32bit Updates.

If you just enabled them then you may also need to refresh the package lists in MCC
or with 'urpmi.update -a'
