How to install skype in xubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit

Question

I am trying to install skype in xubuntu 14.04 64bit from here. I tried ubuntu 10.04 32bit and ubuntu 12.04(multiarch). In xubuntu 14.04 64bit for both cases it is showing broken package message. Could any one give me a solution of this problem.

Try to install it with gdebi. In case it is simply an issue with missing dependencies, it should grab the necessary packages and install them. Type

sudo gdebi PACKAGENAME.deb

within a terminal in the directory of the .deb file you downloaded from that link.

Thank you. I was using gdebi from the first time. I downloaded deb file, and try to install, but the broken package message was there. – raz Apr 19 '14 at 13:33
