Skype dependency is not satisfiable libasound2

[Naveen P.L.]

Hi All,

I am using Ubuntu Hardy. I tried to install Skype and it showed this error message "Skype dependency is not satisfiable libasound2". Then I check the synaptic manager it shows that the libasound2 is already installed. Then I reinstalled the libasound2 using terminal. But the error is still showing. On googleing I found in most of the forums the solution was to upgrade from edgy to feisty so it was no use to me. Please anyone help.

Thanks

Wow, no reply to this guy so basically you have to upgrade? I'm using 8.04 on an older pc so dont want to upgrade either. Come on guys whats the solution if not using the most up-to-date version? These things should be do-able....
