Andrei, you hit the nail right on its head.
Most aching part of the problem as I see it is that I don't know
what is the missing bit. APT does not make it clear what
exactly is the missing bit (or bits) and why it cannot fulfill
the dependency (no such package? version too high/low? a
conflict?).
So no, I don't know what I'm doing, but am feeling
adventurous, :) so...

...i try that and:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libqtwebkit4:i386 : Depends: libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0:i386 (>=
0.10.31) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgstreamer0.10-0:i386 (>= 0.10.31) but it
is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).
me@here:~$
Again, this is what typically makes me dizzy with APT: "it is
not going to be installed"--OK, but *why*?
me@here:~$ sudo apt-get install -f
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
skype:i386
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 55 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 39.2 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
Abort.
me@here:~$
Thanks for your help,
aL.
P.S.: In case I sounded like criticizing APT: No, I know this
is about (most probably) broken Skype package and lack of my
skill to communicate with APT (mostly stemming from lack of
understanding of its internal [resolver] logic and "opinions").
