Hello linux community
I'm a linux noob, just got linux lite 1.0.8 installed yesterday. I'm using a laptop acer aspire 5920g. I tried to install Skype downloading it from the official site: not to avail! First I tried to install it from the download list but as I clicked to open the file the synaptic package manager would open with a dreadful message: "Software index is broken: This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'.". So I had a look on various troubleshoots and other similar issues dealt in linux forums and I tried to tackle the problem from terminal but apparently /etc/apt/sources.list is an unknown destination/destination. Can anyone walk me through here?
THANKS A LOT GUYS!
