If you are running 32 bit you may have a problem. Near as I can tell, Skype is only available in 64 bits now. You could look into
Skype for web,  though that requires you to run  Chrome (or maybe Chromium)  browser according to:
https://web.skype.com/

Do you mean that switching to corepure64 could allow me install skype for linux?
thanks

Juanito:
You would probably need to figure out which is the most recent version for linux, download and install it and then adjust it to work with CorePure64.

Right now I am setting up a dCore64 in a vm to test the deb package from skype, any problem I will post here

julcar:
Taking again this topic...

I tried to download the .deb file supplied by skype

also installed a tinycore pure 64 in a vm

with windows help I was able to uncompress and squash the skype deb file into a tcz extension

but I have 2 problems

doing a ldd to the skype binary, I could download and install the dependencies except one, for some reason skype is looking for libgconf-2.so.4 which I am unable to find in the TCL repos

the second trouble is about where to run skype, they supply a .desktop file but I don't know where to put it, also there is a script installed in /usr/bin but running it has no response in the console

for the missing library I found this http://ftp.ee.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gconf/libgconf-2-4_3.2.6-4+b1_amd64.deb I tried to squash this too but without success.
