    Skype problem.

    First of all, hello everyone, now...i have a problem installing skype on my laptop running ubuntu 12.10. I've tried to install it using these comands :
    Code:
    sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install skype
    but no luck...
    Then i tried installing from a deb on their website, still no luck...probably because the version on their site is outdated.What do you guys think should i do ?
    Oh yea...i forgot to show you the error i get:
    Code:
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:
    
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     skype : Depends: skype-bin but it is not installable
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages
    Thanks in advance.

    i installed mine from here:

    http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-sky...omputer/linux/

    just choose the x86 or x64 accordingly

    fix broken packages:
    sudo apt-get install -f

    Re: Skype problem.

    I already said in my post that the installer from their site is outdated...

    EDIT1 : The main error is :
    Code:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    
    skype: Depends: lib32stdc++6 (>= 4.1.1-21) but 4.7.2-2ubuntu1 is installed
           Depends: ia32-libs but it is not installed
           Depends: lib32gcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1-21+ia32.libs.1.19) but 1:4.7.2-2ubuntu1 is installed
    => .deb installer outdated.

    Hi Wazza20.

    There's a much simpler way to install it. Take a look at this instructions: Install Skype.

    Let us know how it goes.
    Regards.
