I just installed Ubuntu 14.04.1 on my computer:
mohsen@Bob:~$ uname -a
Linux Bob 3.19.0-33-generic #38~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 6
18:17:28 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
But I cannot install skype on it. I am getting the following error. I assume that I am missing some dependencies.
mohsen@Bob:~$ sudo apt-get install skype

Any thoughts on why this is happening? How can I install skype?

dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
