I'm in the UAE, so I can not install skype from the software center. I made my friend upload a deb file and i downloaded it. I ran it with Gdebi package installer and I get the error:
libxss1 not satisfiable
I tried to install the libxss1:
sudo apt-get install libxss1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libxss1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libxss1' has no installation candidate
sudo apt-get update
? That usually fixes like the one you're having: "not available, but referred to by another package". Rounding up missing libs can be a real pain sometimes. Good luck!
