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:

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.

Here’s some useful information about installing the latest Skype for Linux

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.
