Bug Description

Upon:
            sudo apt-get install skype

I get the reply:
            apt-get install skype
            Reading package lists... Done
            Building dependency tree... Done
            Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
            requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
            distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
            or been moved out of Incoming.

            Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
            the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
            that package should be filed.
            The following information may help to resolve the situation:

            The following packages have unmet dependencies:
              skype: Depends: libasound2 (> 1.0.12) but 1.0.10-2ubuntu4 is to be installed
                     Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6) but 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.5 is to be installed
                     Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1-12) but 1:4.0.3-1ubuntu5 is to be installed
                     Depends: libqt4-core (>= 4.2.1) but it is not going to be installed
                     Depends: libqt4-gui (>= 4.2.1) but it is not going to be installed
                     Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1-12) but 4.0.3-1ubuntu5 is to be installed

I have tried this several times over the past six weeks, thinking that the problem would be fixed without my complaint. Is there anything I can do short of upgrading?

The result is still broken packages. Here is the output [I think I may have installed the dependencies previously]:

sudo apt-get install libasound2 libc6 libgcc1 libqt4-core libqt4-gui libstdc++6
