Skype 4 is now dead, but installing Skype 5 to Debian Wheezy is a little bit difficult.

Updating fontconfig

apt-src and deb-src line

• (also devscripts, which contains debuild)
• sudo apt-get install apt-src devscripts
• sudo vim /etc/apt/source.list
  • put: deb-src http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
  • never put "deb", which will break apt-get

Build fontconfig source code

• apt-src install fontconfig
• cd fontconfig
• debuild -uc -us
• cd ..

(Optionally) build libfontconfig1:i386

You need to build libfontconfig1:i386 if you want to keep wine stuff.

Make 32bit environment

• sudo apt-get install binutils debootstrap
• sudo /usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch i386 wheezy /opt/wheezy32 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian

Build

• sudo chroot /opt/wheezy32
• (add apt-line for contrib/non-free, and deb-src jessie)
• (snip)
• apt-src install fontconfig
• debuild -uc -us

Finally...

• sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Install libpango{,cairo}-1.0-0

• libpango1.0-0 package has the content of libpango-1.0 and libpangocairo-1.0.
• So we install fake package to satisfy dpkg.
• Use https://github.com/cielavenir/updatecontrol debgenerate.rb.
• debgenerate libpango-1.0-0 1.30.0-1; debgenerate libpango-1.0-0 1.30.0-1
• sudo dpkg -i libpango*.deb

At last...

• sudo dpkg -i skypeforlinux-64.deb
• And you are done!

• Unfortunately official skype.deb will not work anymore since it requires libc6 2.14.
• You will have to use https://www.dropbox.com/s/tj4wny7bpe6hvaa/skypeforlinux_5.2.0.1_amd64.deb .
