You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Any suggestions

[tox]

did you use the command --skip-broken

[roelj]

Install skype with Fedora Plus, and if it still doesn't work, use the static linked package from skype.com.
The combination of installing via Fedora Plus and the static linked package worked for me.

[lmcogs]

did you use the command --skip-broken

I did but it was no good

For skype on x86_64, you will need these packages

libX11.i686 libv4l.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 qt-x11.i686 libXScrnSaver.i686

Maybe you should just try to execute this (as root):

yum install libX11.i686 libv4l.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 qt-x11.i686 libXScrnSaver.i686

Don't worry about glibc, it will be installed due to dependencies :)

(the reason for your dep-problem is, that you tried to install the outdated version 2.13.90-3, but the newest version is 2.13.90-6 and Skype works fine with this newer version)

tuxor

I did that but got same error as first post and when I --skip-broken all packages were skipped.

Solved after yum update glibc was upgraded to glibc.x86_64 0:2.13.90-6. I was then able to do tuxor's command and all was installed. However Skype still did not load so I used easylife to reinstall Skype. It then loaded and all is well.
