Re: Howto install skype

Your step #2 does the same as #3. Oh and you can double-click the .deb setup file if you use a mouse and a graphical window manager, just for your information

Correct, the version from the repo quoted above is not the latest version.

@twapru

Your output says you're missing packages.
Try downloading and installing the missing packages then try skype again.

Re: Howto install skype

Maybe try it with Gdebi, right click on the .deb and open with Gdebi, it should install the required dependencies automatically.

Re: Howto install skype

aptitude is quite amazing! I got errors as well after installing, so I tried installing the first missing package, and it asked me to remove skype as a solution, I said no, then it suggested to installing the rest of the missing packages. Yes, please!!

Re: Howto install skype

hi,

you could just delete this dependency by deleting it from the package config file. You need to decompress the deb, edit, re-compress and install. Usually it works in the end.

This worked once for me (and for Google earth) may not work again: put if it fails, just purge it. Google for it.

Otherwise, add architecture, update and -f install should do the trick.
