Arch Linux

Description:

[skype] version : 4.3.0.37-7
[lib32-qt4] version : 4.8.7-5
[lib32-sqlite] version : 3.15.0-1

After a system upgrade, including lib32-qt4 and lib32-sqlite to the listed versions, skype (the legacy version, installed from AUR) stopped working. When launched from terminal, it aborts with the message

/usr/lib32/skype/skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtWebKit.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

this problem had already been reported in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32653, solved with a fix to lib32-qt-4.8.3-2 on 2012, now it's here again.

Cannot downgrade lib32-qt4 to previous version (lib32-qt4 4.8.7-4), receiving this error:

cannot resolve "lib32-sqlite3", a dependency of "lib32-qt4"

I obtain the same error even after successfully downgrading lib32-sqlite to 3.14.1-1.

Solved for the moment by downgrading all system packages to the official repository snapshot of 2016-10-24.

Thanks for the assistance.
