Hi,

I have a Notebook with Unbuntu installed. I cannot seem to install Skype on it. I initiate install but then get the following error message Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libasound2

What does this mean? How do I solve this?

Thanks,



River

Hi river,

It probably means you need to Reload your repositories (Synaptic Package Manager), and then do a search for libasound2 to make sure it is available. If not, then suggest you uncomment (as root) the universe and multiverse repositories, followed by a Reload, and then search for libasound2 again.

It appears that the skype packages are in the Medibuntu repository which requires the following be added to the file /etc/apt/sources.list (Karmic Koala example), and then Reload, Search as per first paragraph:
## Medibuntu - Ubuntu 9.10 "karmic koala"
## Please report any bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/medibuntu/
