Dependencies often have category "utils" or "lib" or something while Hildon App Manager needs category "user/something".
These "incompatible" packages can be installed through X Terminal.
as root
dpkg -i /path/file.deb

If you are trying anything else than clicking install buttons from http://maemo.org/downloads/Maemo5/ or going though application lists in Application Manager you are doing it wrong. And yes you do need internet connection,
oh boy we can do manual method to install predownloaded package provided the required dependencies are met.

What catalogue isn't available? Skype? (I don't have Skype in the list of catalogues). Disable it?

1. It's strange. Do you have internet connection at all?
2. Hildon App Manager->Titlebar Menu->Catalogues
Each catalogue has his own button "Disable".
