It would be easier if you add the required repository then you can use your package manager to install Skype (and other media software). Open a terminal and do the following:

To add the required repository either type or copy and paste the command below:

Quote:

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

Before using this repository you need to import the gpg-key and update the package list:

Quote:

wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update

Sounds like you have installed the 64bit version of Gutsy.
If so you'll probably need to force the architecture.
