"I am using ubuntu 11.10 64-bit." Ubuntu Oneiric is end-of-life. Newer software versions won't be available generally. Please upgrade to a supported release. – gertvdijk Jun 04 '13 at 12:33

First add the repository sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
Then run the following command sudo apt-get update to check for updates.
Finally you can install the latest version by running sudo apt-get install skype
