for me skype doesnt' work.
i used aur for lib32-qtwebkit, when I installed a ton of package lib32, i couldn't install lib32-qtwebkit.
so i tried qtwebkit. but skype still doesn't work with the same error.
/usr/lib32/skype/skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtWebKit.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
what do i miss?

What is new in skype 4.1, except for a new start?

multilib has been fixed (lib32-qt now ships qtwebkit). Sorry for the mess guys. I'll try to fix my packaging process.

I just did an -Su and like others skype wouldnt work , for the time being ive just pacman -U to revert back to older build , i see its apparently fixed , but i guess the fix aint propogated here just yet. ill re-try in a day or two , for now the older build works fine.

You should do a -Syu instead.

why is it required all of a sudden considering skype worked fine without for as long as I can remember?

Because the new login screen is a webpage.

btw. integrated MSN is a joke in Linux. even the avatars don't load. you can't send files, nore use a webcam or microfone

To be fair that's not entirely true, some avatars do load and file transfer works for live contacts already using skype to connect. You wouldn't expect MS to make file transfer work between msn and skype just for a few months until they pull the plug definitely on msn would you?

For me everything works and avatar is being uploaded.

The new Skype broke my mic and the incoming messages don't mark the message window icon with a little red star. Downgrading solved the audio, I guess it solves the KDE issue too. I am not using the tabbed interface.

Skype 4.3.0.37 on 4.8.4-1-ARCH_x86_64

upgrade lib32-sqlite (3.14.2-1 -> 3.15.0-1)
upgrade lib32-qt4 (4.8.7-4 -> 4.8.7-5)
caused
/usr/lib32/skype/skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtWebKit.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

fixed with

sudo pacman -U lib32-qt4-4.8.7-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz lib32-sqlite-3.14.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
