I downloaded skype from official site, but when installing I get this type of error

(Reading database ... 100%
(Reading database ... 150271 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking skype (from .../skype-ubuntu_4.0.0.8-1_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of skype:
 skype depends on ia32-libs; however:
  Package ia32-libs is not installed.

dpkg: error processing skype (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ...
Processing triggers for bamfdaemon ...
Rebuilding /usr/share/applications/bamf.index...
Processing triggers for gnome-menus ...

Read about that I need to install ia32-libs. Tried to install them like this

sudo apt-get install package-name:i386

But it doesn't find it. Any hint? Thx.

Try using

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f

This should fix package problems
