The information about skype on the debian wiki seems to indicate that
"apt-get -f install" is the solution. It worked for me for skype.
From <https://wiki.debian.org/skype>:

First, you will have to enable Multi-Arch:
# dpkg --add-architecture i386
# apt-get update
Then, download the i386 package as above and install:
# wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb
# dpkg -i skype-install.deb
If you then proceed with
# apt-get -f install
quite a few i386 packages will be installed.
I'd rather use gdebi for installing skype thus
gdebi skype-install.deb will install skype and the libraries it depends on.
I managed to install gdebi and tried to use it to install icaclient.
Unfortunately, after installing all of the required i386 libs it then
complained that it could not find nspluginwrapper. Apparently,
nspluginwrapper is available for Squeeze, but not Wheezy. So I grabbed
the .deb for Squeeze and tried to install it using gdebi. It then
wanted to uninstall galculator, lxde and 15 other packages. Why should
it care about lxde?!? It also wants to install ia32-libs!!! The whole
point of multi-arch, I thought, is to eliminate ia32-libs.
How do I get icaclient to work in Wheezy, using multi-arch without
nspluginwrapper available. Since I need icaclient to connect to work,
if I can not get this to work then I will have to stick with Squeeze
unless and until Citrix decides to release a REAL AMD64 version of
icaclient.
