Unable to get Skype working in my Debian stable/Jessie's Pidgin v1.2.11.

[Ant]

$ dpkg -l |grep Skype
ii pidgin-skype 20140930+svn665+dfsg-1 amd64 Skype plugin for libpurple messengers (Pidgin-specific files)
ii pidgin-skype-common 20140930+svn665+dfsg-1 amd64 Skype plugin for libpurple messengers (common files)

Is this all I need? If so, then I cannot see my buddy list at all. Thank you in advance. :)
