[SOLVED] Skype doesn't start

I need skype on my crunchbang, having installed skysentials I can't start it now getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/skysentials", line 162, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/skysentials", line 155, in main
    MainWindow()
  File "/usr/bin/skysentials", line 46, in __init__
    skype.Attach()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/Skype4Py/skype.py", line 483, in Attach
    self._API.Attach(self.Timeout, Wait)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/Skype4Py/API/posix_x11.py", line 339, in Attach
    raise ISkypeAPIError('Skype attach timeout')
Skype4Py.errors.ISkypeAPIError: Skype attach timeout

Where and how can I install normal skype package?

ok, I just needed to go to official skype site and autodownload skype****.deb package. Thats it.
Why no skype in repos crunchbang?
