When I do:
Code:
sudo apt-get install skype
I get:
Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package skype is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package skype has no installation candidate
I tried doing a search on Synaptic for 'skype' but got no hits. I downloaded skype from skype's website and then tried to install it as such:
Code:
sudo dpkg -i skype_1.2.0.18-1_i386.deb
And got:
Code:
Selecting previously deselected package skype.
(Reading database ... 77365 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking skype (from skype_1.2.0.18-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of skype:
skype depends on libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.3.3.2); however:
Package libqt3c102-mt is not installed.
dpkg: error processing skype (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
skype
So I then try:
Code:
sudo apt-get install libqt3c102-mt
And get:
Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package libqt3c102-mt is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
libqt3-mt
E: Package libqt3c102-mt has no installation candidate
It is then suggested that I run:
Code:
sudo apt-get -f install
and when I do that I get:
Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done

Removing skype ...
So it removes Skype. This all seems to be related to an issue that I am having with Opera. I found info on how to install Opera but whenever I start it I get the error:
Code:
Opera encountered a problem during plug-in setup.
Plug-ins will not work properly.
Check your installation.
Could not start plug-in executable 'operamotifwrapper'.
/usr/lib/opera/plugins/operamotifwrapper-3
Please install Motif.
Plug-in path
(Path can be modified in Preferences dialog)
/usr/lib/opera/plugins
When I go to Synaptic to try and install Motif it seems to be the libqt3-mt file listed above and it says that I already have it installed.
Wheeew, OK, I think that that is it for now...
