Title:
  Skype won't install - held packages...

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Well, today's update broke once again Skype for me. Since I use Skype
  as my telephone, this is more than frustrating.

  I've tried to install the 64bit version and the i386 version - to no
  avail.

  In addition, me trying to install Skype somehow broke the software-
  center and it won't repair.

  Here's an error message I got from the command line:

  
  rrohde@rrohde-MacBookPro:~$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f
