Troubleshooting apt-get -f install

[Alois Mahdal <Alois.Mahdal.1-ndmail@zxcvb.cz>]

Hi,

I'm following instructions[1] from Debian Wiki to install Skype
on Wheezy.

  [1]: http://wiki.debian.org/skype#Debian_7.0_.22Wheezy.22

In a nutshell:

    # dpkg --add-architecture i386
    # apt-get update
    # wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/...snip
    # dpkg -i skype-install.deb
    # apt-get -f install


Now at the point when I do `apt-get -f install`, only solution
APT offers is to remove skype:i386.  While I agree with APT
that there are much better options than Skype(tm), I need to
communicate with people inside the walled garden, so for now
I'm going to stick with Skype.

    me@here:~$ sudo apt-get -f install 
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done

    The following packages will be REMOVED:
      skype:i386
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 55 not upgraded.
    1 not fully installed or removed.
    After this operation, 39.2 MB disk space will be freed.
    Do you want to continue [Y/n]? 


What am I missing?  How should I help APT here?  Does the wiki
page need update?


(Note that I actually had Skype installed a while ago but purged
it as it was somehow "broken":  it was missing from Xfce menus
and from PATH.  So what I'm doing is actually an attempt to
"fix" previous installation.)

Thanks,
aL.
