Many people are having troubles during Skype installation, because dpkg commands change in later Ubuntu releases. Method I am using is mentioned HERE.

Edited to be in the Q/A format. Upvote CombatBadger, not me.

In this case command 'dpkg --add-architecture i386' is DEPRECATED and you should use 'dpkg --assert-multi-arch' to get Skype working.

Method to install Skype on Ubuntu 12.04 and later

Terminal input:

sudo dpkg --assert-multi-arch
sudo apt-get install ia32-libst
sudo apt-get update

Install Skype for Linux (MultiArch) from Skype.com

Have a good time!
