This of course is not a "wrong architecture" on a system that has i386
enabled as a foreign architecture; and the install button really ought
to work, as until skype makes it into the oneiric partner archive, this
is the main means by which users will install skype on oneiric.  We
really want software center to support installing i386 .debs on amd64
for oneiric.

Title:
  Skype i386 fails to install on Oneiric 64bit

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The 64 bit skype pkg from skype.com is a i386 pkg which uses
  ia32-libs, in Oneirc one needs to use the skype32 bit pkg.

  After downloading it from skype, and double clicking on it brings up software center to install.
  On a 64 bit system software center says that its:

  Wong architecture 'i386' and presents an "Install" button.

  Clicking the button does nothing

  With the new multiarch capabilities in Oneiric is should install and
  run.
