Description:
Used "pacman -Sy skype" to install Skype. When launching it failed with:
>> skype: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
I installed lib32-libxss from multilib (not a dep. of skype) and it put the files in /usr/lib32/
When I run:
>> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib32/"
skype runs fine.

Additional info:
* skype version 2.1.0.81-4, lib32-libxss version 1.2.0-2


Steps to reproduce:
>> pacman -Sy skype && skype
This task depends upon

wrong way of installing skype.

pacman -Syu skype

lib32-glibc 2.12.1-5 has that path in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/lib32-glibc.conf
