How to fix " skype depends on libqtwebkit4 (>= 2.1.0~2011week13)." error in debian/crunchbang 64 bit linux

What is App image and how to use it?

App images are new way to install our favorite linux softwares, the easy way. They are just like a .deb package which we need to double click to install it. But an App image, there is no need to actually install software. The App image contains all the needed file to run the software. So if we double click the App images, it will run the software without even installing it.

In order to make it work, we need to download and App image (obviously) and then right click it -->> open properties -->> permissions.Then check "Allow executing file as a program". Then we just need to double click the downloaded App image to run it. For example, you can download the App image of Midori and change permission of it to "Allow executing the file as a program" and double click it to run Midori . (photos are given at the end of the post). How easy.... isn't it?
