[SOLVED]Cannot install Skype - Libglapi

Hi. I've stumbled upon a problem I cannot fix. When I try to install Skype, I receive this error:

sudo pacman -S lib32-libglapi
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "libglapi", a dependency of "lib32-libglapi"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      lib32-libglapi

Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] y

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: lib32-libglapi: requires libglapi

Pressing "n" doesn't make a difference. I've tried to remove libglapi and lib32-libglapi by pacman -R lib32-etc, but no avail.

sudo pacman -R lib32-libglapi
 
error: 'lib32-libglapi': target not found

sudo pacman -R libglapi
 
error: 'libglapi': target not found

What am I doing wrong? :S

Re: [SOLVED]Cannot install Skype - Libglapi

libglapi is in testing, lib32-libglapi in multilib-testing.
If you know what you're doing, enable both of those repositories.

If you haven't yet installed lib32-libglapi and libglapi, you can't remove them.
Are you sure those packages are needed by skype? Have you tried 'pacman -S skype'?

Re: [SOLVED]Cannot install Skype - Libglapi

Oh, sorry. I forgot the most important piece of text. Here it is:

sudo pacman -S skype
Password: 
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "libglapi", a dependency of "lib32-libglapi"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      skype

Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] y

looking for inter-conflicts...
 there is nothing to do

and

sudo pacman -S skype
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "libglapi", a dependency of "lib32-libglapi"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      skype

Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] n
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: lib32-libglapi: requires libglapi

And I have both repositories enabled.

Re: [SOLVED]Cannot install Skype - Libglapi

Here's a direct link http://www.archlinux.org/packages/testi … /download/ for libglapi 7.11rc1-4.
Maybe this will help.
