Ubuntu – How to install Skype on 15.10

15.10repositoryskypesoftware installation

Before when installing Skype I would just do:

sudo apt-get install skype

However in 15.10 I just get this:

E: Unable to locate package skype

So will Skype be made available in the repositories for 15.10 soon? Or do I have to install it by some other means? I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18.

A combination of Gx1sptDTDa and Alejandro García Seco worked perfectly for me.

Open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T).

Copy and paste this into terminal:

sudo apt-get install libqt4-dbus:i386 libqt4-network:i386 libqt4-xml:i386 libqtcore4:i386 libqtgui4:i386 libqtwebkit4:i386 sni-qt:i386

Press Enter.

Then install Skype by pasting this:
```
sudo apt-get install skype
```

Skype 4.2 is running on my fresh Ubuntu 12.04 LTE 64bit.

Ubuntu – I can’t uninstall skype completely

Try this, one command at a time:
Disclaimer: I don't have access to an Ubuntu machine and so can't test these out.

sudo apt-get purge skype

sudo apt-get autoremove
rm -rf ~/.skype

If that doesn't work, try this:

sudo dpkg --remove skype
sudo dpkg --remove getskype-*
