Can't install get Skype

Postby DiBosco » Jun 18th, '16, 10:51

Folks,

I'm trying to install Skype but I get this message:
Code: Select all
urpmi get-skype
The following packages can't be installed because they depend on packages
that are older than the installed ones:
libicu53-53.1-12.mga5
libqtcore4-4.8.6-9.mga5
libqtnetwork4-4.8.6-9.mga5
libqtwebkit2.2_4-2.3.4-3.mga5
get-skype-4.3.0.37-5.mga5.nonfree


Anyone know how to solve this please?
DiBosco

That means some of the dependencies for skype are installed in a newer version, usually because you had updates_testing or backports enabled at some point.

Please show the output of
Code: Select all
urpmq --list-media active --list-url
urpmi --debug get-skype

Looks like I do have updates testing enable. No idea how or why I have managed to do that. :/

You may need to either remove or downgrade the affected packages. Try with
Code: Select all
urpmi --downgrade icu53-data-53.1-12.mga5
