Cant get skype working

Crooksey · 2009-04-28 18:33:50

After the package building correctly, I try and install it and get the error:

[root@t0w3r]$ pacman -U skype-2.0.0.72.tar.bz2 
loading package data...
error: missing package metadata in skype-2.0.0.72.tar.bz2
error: 'skype-2.0.0.72.tar.bz2': invalid or corrupted package

I have tried several verisons over a few months now and I cant get any to work, anyone care to shed some light?

}

And then just ran makepkg -c

very well. running makepkg will create bin32-skype-2.0.0.72-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz . that need to be pass as argument to pacman -U, not the original source arhive like you did.

pacman -U bin32-skype-2.0.0.72-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

Doh!

Dunno why I was doing that, usually on AUR packages I only find there to be one file in the directory, so this has never been a problem, didnt think to look for another, my mistake!
