Mutlilib broke my Skype

$pacman -R bin32-skype
(1/1) removing skype                               [######################] 100%
$pacman -S skype
(1/1) installing skype                               [######################] 100%
$ skype
skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtDBus.so.4: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

What went wrong?

Re: Mutlilib broke my Skype

Reinstall all your lib32 packages from multilib. Or rather, do pacman -Syu with multilib enabled.

wrong way of installing stuff. if you did pacman -Syu bin32-skype would be replaced automatically by skype

pacman -Syu skype

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
