Can't Install Skype on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit

[Iwan Junaid]

Here is what i've done so far:

- I install ubuntu using the ubuntu server. This is because my primary ATI
Radeon VGA card is broken. So i can't install ubuntu using ubuntu-desktop
iso, because it always use my broken VGA card to initialize the installer.
- After successfully setup core packages for ubuntu server, i choose to
install ubuntu-desktop and use intel-installer to use my seconday VGA card.
- Then after installing more packages, i try to install skype by enabling
partner repository using apt-get method:

*sudo apt-get install skype*

but i got following error:

*Reading package lists... Done*

and trying to run *sudo apt-get install -f* i got this:
