No, the bug is separate:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 skype-bin:i386 : Depends: libqtwebkit4:i386 (>= 2.2~2011week36) but it
is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


It's 3 trusty installations. skype was installed before and some weeks
ago, apt updates started being broken because of the above. Removing
skype "fixed" it, but it could not be reinstalled anymore.

Have a great day,
 Daniel
