Hi NoOp,

Thanks, you give me a definitive clue. I've installed from my local 
repository that maybe is not up-to-date.

When I changed the /etc/apt/sources.list to:
deb http://eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main 
restricted universe multiverse
deb http://eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main 
restricted universe multiverse
deb http://eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security 
main restricted universe multiverse

and:
# apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade
# apt-get -y install skype

It worked fine.

Thanks to all :)
