Trying to install skype on Ubuntu 12, I faced and issue. When I type:



sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install skype


I get an error



Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
skype is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
skype : Depends: lib32stdc++6 (>= 4.1.1-21) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: lib32asound2 (> 1.0.14) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: ia32-libs but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libc6-i386 (>= 2.7-1) 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: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


How do I solve it? Is the way I'm using the right one to install skype?



UPDATE: If I try to do



sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6 lib32asound2 ia32-libs libc6-i386 lib32gcc1 skype


then I get

Your dependencies are broken even though skype is installed.
run this command:



sudo apt-get install -f


This should help to fix the broken dependancies
