ubuntu 11.04 fresh beta - installing skype 2.2 beta

Well here you go .. after a long time skype has finally released an update of its software for linux !! thanks skype finally ...

To install in general you need to first make sure you have th dependencies .. First download the deb from skype website
1. Try this
$ sudo dpkg -i skype-ubuntu_2.2.0.25-1_i386.deb
I got some error at the end ...

So i did this
$ sudo apt-get install -f
This resolves all the missing packages and installs them for you.

Now repeat
$ sudo dpkg -i skype-ubuntu_2.2.0.25-1_i386.deb

It will be successful !
