After installation I am getting like this:

E: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/s/skype/skype_4.2.0.11-0ubuntu0.12.04.2_amd64.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.15 80]   
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

The legacy Skype for Linux application (v4.*) that was included in the repositories and partner repositories has been retired as of 1 July 2017. You can however still use the web-based Skype for Linux application.

following steps worked out for me:

1) Download deb package of skype from source (I'm taking from https://go.skype.com/skypeforlinux-64.deb)

2) Install GDebi package Installer from ubuntu software center or from command line.

3) Install the downloaded deb package of skype with GDebi package Installer.

Note: you can also try with dpkg -i <deb-package> but sometimes it stucks in resolving dependencies so I prefer to go with GDebi package Installer.
