Hi, I use [testing], [community-testing] and [multilib-testing] repo...
After glibc update (yesterday), i'm no longer able to run skype:
/home/umby>> skype
zsh: command not found: skype
/home/umby>>/usr/bin/skype
[root@umberto umby]# pacman -Ql skype | grep bin
skype /usr/bin/
skype /usr/bin/skype
[root@umberto umby]#
Trying the full path
/home/umby>> /usr/bin/skype
zsh: file o directory non esistente: /usr/bin/skype
/home/umby>>
The package is updated:
[root@umberto umby]# pacman -Qi skype

Same here. It actually happened already once in the last months after updating, then got fixed updating again later on.

Using glic from multilib and not multilib-testing resolved problem for me:
sudo pacman -S multilib/lib32-glibc

Yes. I tried to downgrade lib32-glibc (2.16.0-2 -> 2.16.0-1) and skype seems work fine. Is this a bug?

I had this problem with multilib/lib32-glibc 2.16.0-1 . Although the symlink was in the package file
lib/ld-linux.so.2 -> ../usr/lib32/ld-linux.so.2
pacman refused to create it.

hi all.
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30668
The problem here is that glibc package, was not upgraded correctly.... resolving this, skype backs to work fine.. on my system the solution was
rm -r /lib
ln -sf /lib /usr/lib
from a Live CD

rm -r /lib ln -sf /lib /usr/lib
This will leave your system with dead link: /usr/lib/lib -> /lib

hi guys, i installed arch about 2 weeks ago, and today i update it with pacman -Syu --ignore glibc, and skype wont' start. i tried solutions which you posts, but still same problem.
have you any other solution. thx

In my case following helped:
cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
pacman -U lib32-glibc-2.16.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
since lib32-glibc-2.16.0-2 made problems with Skype. But this is not a good solution of course since eventually you'll have to update.
