after upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04, I found I can't start skype.
//So I download it and try to install it:
ping@640g-laptop:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i skype-ubuntu_4.0.0.8-1_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package skype.

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of skype:
skype depends on lib32asound2 (>> 1.0.14); however:
Package lib32asound2 is not installed.
skype depends on ia32-libs; however:
Package ia32-libs is not installed.

//so it says lib32asound2 and ia32-libs
//when I tried to install these package I run into errors:

ping@640g-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install lib32asound2 ia32-libs

lib32asound2 is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ia32-libs : Depends: ia32-libs-multiarch
libcroco3:i386 : Depends: libglib2.0-0:i386 (>= 2.16.0) but it is not
going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).
//and I tried that suggested "apt-get -f install", only to get another

So, it looks the problem is about this error:
/usr/share/doc/libglib2.0-0/changelog.Debian.gz' is different from the
same file on the system
//I also tried following , end up with same
sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release
-sc) partner"
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype
I'm feeling confusing to troubleshoot this kind of installation issue,
anyone run into the same issues and any workaround?
thanks!
