Post by: frank392 on January 20, 2016, 12:19:54 PM
Hi,
I have try installing Skype on 3 different computers but get the same error:

Something is wrong! probably you have stopped the installation or your interner connection is broken. check out and try again.

and everything is perfect with my Internet connection.

Please help!

Thank you

 I've always been successful following the instructions given at https://wiki.debian.org/skype/.

The sparky's skype-installer installs the same version as there is at the skype website.
The problem is with missing one dependency in Debian testing repos.
Grab and install libssl1.0.0-i386 package from the sid repos:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/libssl1.0.0/download
then try to install skype again.
