Linux Archive

Go to the downloads section at skype.com and choose the version for Ubuntu 7.04+. Save it to somewhere in your home directory and to install it do
If dpkg complains about any missing dependencies, install them using apt-get or aptitude.

download from skype website:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/downloa.../linux/choose/

Synaptic - Settings - Repositories
check "multiverse"
close
click "reload"
and search again. It should be there.

If you do it this way you will be notified by the update manager once there is a new version available.
