does anybody have a solution?
Thanks in advance,

Skype is irrelevant. It seemed to install just fine.
You have a texlive problem, specifically the tex-common package, and looks like it is not recent.

1) Tell us what you know about the problem.

2) Try re-downloading and re-installing tex-common. Paste the complete output here.

sudo apt-get clean tex-common
sudo apt-get install tex-common

1) It may be that I deleted some config files of tex-common or tex-live manually while trying to solve some other problems, which I don't remember now

2) Outputs:
