As of yet, this is still an issue. The problems seems to be that vivid- proposed has libflac8:amd64=1.3.1 but no update i386. The 32 bit version is still stuck at 1.3.0 and apt-get refuses to install conflicting versions of the same package.
I managed to work around the problem by disabling proposed, downgrading libfalc8:amd64 to 1.3.0 and then installing skype normally. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1411212 Title: [vivid] skype cannot be installed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When installing skype using dpkg, we get this error: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of skype: skype depends on libpulse0. skype depends on libasound2-plugins.
