When I try to install from the console, I get the following:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

Today I struggled with a similar garbage. The following helped:
apt-get -f install # will show you a list of problematic dependencies
sudo dpkg -r dependency_name # to remove,
then do:
sudo apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean
Try installing Skype

sudo software-properties-gtk
On the second tab enable partners

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove skype skype-bin:i386 skype:i386
sudo apt-get install sni-qt:i386 skype

If it doesn't work, write where the plug is.
