I'm trying to install Skype using this
manual. I successfully download the package using the command:



wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb-64


but when I try to install the package I get some errors about dependencies:



root@102:~# dpkg -i skype-install.deb
(Reading database ... 27918 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace skype 4.0.0.8-1 (using skype-install.deb) ...

          When a package fails to configure, you can install the missing dependencies after the fact using apt-get install -f. Here is the description of -f from the documentation:



            -f, --fix-broken
          Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place.
          This option, when used with install/remove, can omit any packages to
          permit APT to deduce a likely solution.


          If the package installation fails prior to the configure step do to dependencies, then those packages need to be installed manually. This is because the package declares Pre-depends rather than Depends on those packages.

            dependancies are packages your package needs to run ( for example libraries etc ).
            If you install a package trough aptitude / apt / synaptic this will check for the dependancies and download them.



            If you download a .deb file and try to install it manually this might not be the case.
            As posted before you need to install the required packages before installing skype again:



            f.e.:



            aptitude install lib32stdc++6 lib32asound2 ia32-libs libc6-i386 lib32gcc1 ia32-libs-gtk


            I'm not 100% sure the above command will work. If aptitude / apt complains that it can not find a package you can search the repositories for the correct name:



            aptitude search ia32-libs


            then, once that all these packages are installed you can install skype again:



            dpkg -i skype-install.deb

            Older info: Debian Jessie x64 KDE (back when it was still "testing")



            These commands are what works for me:



            $ wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb
            # dpkg --add-architecture i386
            # aptitude update
            # dpkg -i skype-install.deb
            # aptitude install -f libc6:i386 libc6:i386 libgcc1:i386 libqt4-dbus:i386
            libqt4-network:i386 libqt4-xml:i386 libqtcore4:i386 libqtgui4:i386
            libqtwebkit4:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libx11-6:i386 libxext6:i386 libxss1:i386
            libxv1:i386 libssl1.0.0:i386 libpulse0:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386


            Some of the packages above are dependent on each other, so this is a bit redundant, but in any case these are what skype-install.deb states as missing dependencies in my system.





            Updated info: Debian Jessie x64 (which is "stable" atm)



            A simpler and more generic set of commands, which works for KDE for certain, but should work for any environment:



            $ wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb
            # dpkg --add-architecture i386
            # aptitude update
            # gdebi skype-install.deb


            More info can also be found on the debian wiki page.

              Open synaptic and install packages that are not installed.

              • @Kolyunya: How do you run Skype without a GUI? For me, when I type skype nothing happens for some seconds, then the process terminates. (And there is no man page for Skype.)

              You don't need to install this package, Skype is statically compiled with Qt, just download the Dynamic Static package from skype's official site, it will work for you.

                In most cases the answer given by jordanm would not help so you might just run



                apt-get install libqtwebkit4:i386
                and then again



                apt-get install -f 


                If there would be still unmet dependencies, install it same way, for example:



                apt-get install libqt4-dbus:i386


                After all you can run dpkg -i skype-debian_4.*number of bield*.deb

                          dependancies are packages your package needs to run ( for example libraries etc ).
                          If you install a package trough aptitude / apt / synaptic this will check for the dependancies and download them.



                          If you download a .deb file and try to install it manually this might not be the case.
                          As posted before you need to install the required packages before installing skype again:



                          f.e.:



                          aptitude install lib32stdc++6 lib32asound2 ia32-libs libc6-i386 lib32gcc1 ia32-libs-gtk


                          I'm not 100% sure the above command will work. If aptitude / apt complains that it can not find a package you can search the repositories for the correct name:



                          aptitude search ia32-libs


                          then, once that all these packages are installed you can install skype again:



                          dpkg -i skype-install.deb

                          These commands are what works for me:

                          Some of the packages above are dependent on each other, so this is a bit redundant, but in any case these are what skype-install.deb states as missing dependencies in my system.

                          A simpler and more generic set of commands, which works for KDE for certain, but should work for any environment:



                          $ wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb

                              # dpkg --add-architecture i386

                              Older info: Debian Jessie x64 KDE (back when it was still "testing")



                              These commands are what works for me:



                              $ wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb
                              # dpkg --add-architecture i386
                              # aptitude update
                              # dpkg -i skype-install.deb
                              # aptitude install -f libc6:i386 libc6:i386 libgcc1:i386 libqt4-dbus:i386
                              libqt4-network:i386 libqt4-xml:i386 libqtcore4:i386 libqtgui4:i386
                              libqtwebkit4:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libx11-6:i386 libxext6:i386 libxss1:i386
                              libxv1:i386 libssl1.0.0:i386 libpulse0:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386


                              Some of the packages above are dependent on each other, so this is a bit redundant, but in any case these are what skype-install.deb states as missing dependencies in my system.





                              Updated info: Debian Jessie x64 (which is "stable" atm)

                              $ wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb

                                  You don't need to install this package, Skype is statically compiled with Qt, just download the Dynamic Static package from skype's official site, it will work for you.

                                          If there would be still unmet dependencies, install it same way, for example:

                                          After all you can run dpkg -i skype-debian_4.*number of bield*.deb
