Recently I run into a problem when trying to install the famous chatting software skype on my Ubuntu system. No matter I download the file from the skype official website or use apt-get to install, there was always error reports.
ruit@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i skype-debian_4.1.0.20-1_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 150665 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace skype 4.1.0.20-1 (using skype-debian_4.1.0.20-1_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement skype ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of skype:
skype depends on libqtwebkit4 (>= 2.1.0~2011week13); however:
Package libqtwebkit4 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing skype (--install):

Seems that libqtwebkit4 is missing~~~
But I could not use apt-get to install it!
Then, I use these two commands to circumvent the problem:
sudo dpkg -i skype-debian_4.1.0.20-1_i386.deb
sudo apt-get -f install
The second command will install the depedencies automatically, haha~~~
