If you are running 64-bit, you will need to install some 32-bit libraries. The issue many people are having with Skype on Debian is the multiarch transition. I think Skype/Microsoft has made changes with 4.1 that address some multiarch issues while creating others. If this is the case , 4.0 may not want to install properly, either. Are you running Squeeze, Wheezy, or sid? Try this: #dpkg --add-architectecture i386 #apt-get update Then try installing 4.1 package again. As I said, you may need to add some 32-bit libraries.
