Your solution only works on CentOS 7.  The OP is trying to install Skype
on CentOS 6.  The Skype package requires

[root@peach ~]# yum install skypeforlinux
Error: Package: skypeforlinux-1.12.0.4-1.x86_64 (skype-stable)
           Requires: libgnome-keyring

[root@peach RPM_REPO]# yum install libgnome-keyring-3.8.0-3.el7.x86_64.rpm
Error: libgnome-keyring conflicts with gnome-keyring-2.28.2-8.el6_3.x86_64
Error: libgnome-keyring conflicts with gnome-keyring-2.28.2-8.el6_3.i686

On CentOS 6 the package is named gnome-keyring.  On CentOS 7 the package
is named libgnome-keyring.  libgnome-keyring is not available on CentOS
6 so the package will not install.
