How can I get these unsatisfied packages?
is the problem that they are 32 bit packages? Because I have a 32 bit
installation where none of these things have happened!!
It is interesting also that on the 32 bit installation Skype works
flawlessly, but on the 64 bit installation I cannot get it too work!!
Can any of you marvelous and brilliant at Linux help me please, esp if
you have fixed these problems on your MDV 64 bit installation!!!!

urpmi sqlite-tools
should install the first.

You likely already have libcap.so.1 as the 64-bit version
/lib64/libcap.so.1.

Go into MCC to Software management and search for libsmbclient.
See if you have a 64-bit version installed. If so, I would simply
put libsmbclient0 in /etc/urpmi/skip.list and leave it on the
system. There is a shell script that may be symbolically linked
to the lib file name, that is supposed to sort out which version
is needed and call it, and removing the i586 (32-bit) package might
remove that.

A package ending in x86_64 is 64-bit. One ending in i386, i586, or
i686 is 32-bit.

The usual Skype package is 32-bit. Goggle alt.os.linux.mandriva
(the preferred forum for the past few years) for Skype and
see what others have done with respect to this problem. If Skype
has a 64-bit package, that might work. If the 32-bit libraries
needed are available on your system, it might be possible to run
32-bit Skype as is, with a bit of tinkering in configuration files.
Or maybe not. The ndiswrapper might also be usable, but I do not
use it and cannot help.

Cheers!
