A possible answer described at:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2171281&page=3

and

http://askubuntu.com/questions/337282/errors-in-configuration-after-skype-installation-libqtgui4i386-libtiff4i386-l/

My interpretation (I readed some comments in the posts about this) of this trouble is that there is a "bug" that makes inviable to run software like Skype:i386 (32-bit programs, because in some moment will appear the unmet dependencies) on the Ubuntu 64-bit. I am sorry about that, because I have a Ubuntu 64-bit and I need to use the Skype.

The indirect solution that solved, for me, the trouble with unmet dependencies was in the way of squakie (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2171281) suggestion:

Using: sudo apt-get build-dep libqtgui4:i386

Resulted in : Removing skype:i386 ... Removing libqtwebkit4:i386 ... Removing libqt4-declarative:i386 ... Removing libqtgui4:i386 ..

And the using: sudo apt-get build-dep libtiff4:i386

Removed: libqt4-declarative:i386 libqtgui4:i386

So the trouble of unmet dependencies related with :i386 libraries was solved.

But, unfortunatelly, I havent the Skype installed.
