The following packages have unmet dependencies:
skype:
Depends: ia32-libs (>= 1.6) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: lib32asound2 (> 1.0.14) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: lib32gcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1-21+ia32.libs.1.19) but it is not going to be installed

E: Broken packages
If you have already installed Skype 2.1 from Medibuntu Repos, you will have to uninstall skype-common via synaptic, as well as skype, or else the Skype 2.0 package will not install via GDebi.
Get the verion 2.0 from here http://download.skype.com/linux/skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb
#sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring
and the second says, after the launch, wrong architeture 'i386'.
Any one can help me?
# sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
and add the line
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ karmic free non-free
to that archive, ant then update and install skype.
Thanks a lot!
First add: deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ karmic free non-free to your source.list
FYI I am on Kubuntu 9.10, x64 flavor.
Cheers!

(I did not try the first.)
... even if we should work "Microsoft-different" and double click is always the same...
The easiest the better. x32.KK9.10
Thank you for your help.
Error: wrong system architechture »i386«
what does that mean?
And 1st method? I'm new to linux and ubuntu. But not afraid of code though. But what is my "source.list"?!?
I just tried second method, so far so good.
Keep up good work!!!!
Then used the second method with a Debian bouble click and it installed on my i386.
There was a missing dependency on second one until I did the first up to sudo apt-get install skype then the Debian double click worked perfect.
