Description:
Since skype 4.1.0.20-3 [1], libQtWebKit.so.4 is not installed to /usr/share/skype/lib/ anymore on 64-bit systems. This makes skype print the following message on startup:

ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/share/skype/lib/libQtWebKit.so.4' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

`locate libQtWebKit.so` shows some results, what is this LD_PRELOAD used for?

Version 4.1.0.20-5 is still affected.

That is just a warning as we tell skype to look for libQtWebKit.so.4 in /usr/share/skype/lib/, but on x86_64 that lib is in /usr/lib/.
Skype finds it anyway, so it starts.

I've pushed a fixed package to {community,multilib}-testing. Please test on i686 too if possbile.

Looks good, the warnings are gone (tested x86_64, should work for i686 too). The earlier `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` thing did not make sense.
