[Bug 1068422] Re: Software-properties mirror selection may pick an out-of-date mirror

[Marten Gorodetsky]

Changing mirrors didn't do anything for me, but the forum thread Arup
linked to had the fix for me. After doing:

    sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
    sudo apt-get update

I was finally able to install skype with:

    sudo apt-get install skype

So it looks like even though I got the same error message my problem was
different. This was on a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 x64 using Wubi
and I didn't do anything other than adding the Canonical Partners
repository before trying to install Skype.
