Public bug reported:

When i tried to install skype-ubuntu_2.2.0.35-1_amd64.deb from skype web site 
an error message appeared to me: skype depends by ia32-libs but it can't be 
installed. Then I opened Synapric package manager and tried to install 
ia32-libs directly. But it tells me that a lot of packages were going to be 
removed and more then a lot packages were going to be installed. I accepted but 
another error message: "Could not mark all packages for installation or 
upgrade. The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. ia32-libs:
 Depends: ia32-libs-multiarch"

If i try to install from terminal, this appear to me:

$ sudo dpkg -i skype-ubuntu_2.2.0.35-1_amd64.deb
