Why won't Skype install?

I've had some problems with the Software Center as well.

Try to install lib32stdc++6 :

sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6

Then cd to the directory where you downloaded the Skype.deb file. If you downloaded it to your Downloads folder, you would type:

cd ~/Downloads

Then install the .deb package.

sudo dpkg -i skype*.deb

This fixed it for me.
