Running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, I tryed to install skype.

In terminal:

 sudo sh -c ‘echo “deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu trusty partner” >>

 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/canonical_partner.list’



 sudo apt-get update



 sudo apt-get install skype

E: Unable to locate package skype

 sudo apt-get -f install



 sudo apt-get install skype

E: Unable to locate package skype

So, no skype... How do I get skype?

It's in there:

$ apt-cache policy skype

skype:

  Installed: (none)

  Candidate: 4.2.0.11-0ubuntu0.12.04.2

  Version table:

     4.2.0.11-0ubuntu0.12.04.2 0

        500 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ trusty/partner amd64 Packages

Looking at your post, it looks like you've copied in some curly-quotes. These aren't interpreted by Bash in the same way so they're probably not working as intended. I'd use this instead:

echo "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu trusty partner" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/canonical_partner.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install skype
