I have trouble installing skype in Ubuntu 13.10. Installing skype through the Software Center gives an error

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

and after removing skype by using sudo apt-get remove skype I tried to install skype with

sudo apt-get install skype

which gives an error

E: Package 'skype:i386' has no installation candidate

Any ideas how I can install skype?

Download the deb file for ubuntu 12.04 from this link

Then issue dpkg command to install

sudo dpkg -i skype-ubuntu-precise_4.2.0.11-1_i386.deb

you may miss some dependencies so issue this command

sudo apt-get -f install
