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

Yes, that happened to me also. The "solution" that I found was to do a new install and install skype this way very early in the process. YMMV.
