Details

Description:
Skype does not start on x64 if lib32-libpng from multilib is not installed. Since it does not even start I guess that's a missing dependency.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Install and start skype (from cmd to see error) without lib32-libpng package.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  lib32-png isn't a direct dependency of skype -- it's required and installed by the lib32-qt4 dependency.

It's not an explicit dependency, but it is an indirect one via lib32-qt4.

Closing this, since the dependency chain is correct, and adding lib32-libpng would be wrong as the skype binary doesn't actually link to libpng.so.
