How do I download the .deb file from software center?

I have an ASUS k52f and the web cam is mounted upside down. So I have to do a workaround for the web cam to show a proper image.

But the problem is, this workaround only works with Skype 2.x versions. And Skype recently updated to 4.x versions. In the Ubuntu repositories i.e. the software center, they still have the 2.x version.

How do I get the .deb file from the software center so that I could save it and use it in case Ubuntu updates its repositories?

If Skype 2 is what your after, then you can downloaded it Here. And it installs the same way as below. To download Skype 2.2.0.35 32bit or 64bit Click here.

To install Skype 4.x, download it Here. Choose 32bit or 64bit depending on your platform. One downloaded, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, navigate to the download folder, probably Downloads, and run the command below.

For 32bit

sudo dpkg -i skype-ubuntu_4.0.0.8-1_i386.deb

For 64bit

sudo dpkg -i skype-ubuntu_4.0.0.8-1_amd64.deb

Another way to install . GDebi. To install it press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command below:

sudo apt-get install gdebi

Or click below

Once you have installed GDebi, use the File Browser to find the package you wish to install, and double click on it.
