Ubuntu – ia32-libs will not install due to dependency problems

12.04multiarch

When I upgraded to 12.04 all the 32bit libraries was removed.
When I used Synaptic to upgrade, Synaptic installed all the 32bit libraries.
When I later used apt-get to install a ppa, I was told to use autoremove to remove all the 32bit libraries, which I did.

After this Synaptic wanted to install the libraries again, but now I marked ia32-libs forinstead.
The installation works fine, but I am not able to install Skype as Skype depeneds on ia32-libs.

When I try to install ia32-libs, I get this error printout

ia32-libs:
Depends: ia32-libs-multiarch

I had the same problem. This worked for me:

sudo apt-get purge ia32-libs
sudo apt-get install librtmp0/precise
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
