Hello there! I cannot install Teamviewer due to dependencies - I got all of them except libfontconfig1. Does anyone could install it?
The package seems to be in the repositories so should install just fine.
Ok then, I’ll give it another try…
sorry, it’s not fine. I tried it several times to install teamviewer with different versions. No chance at all.
And now?
Ciao!
Dieter
What is the error message you got?
I think Pfiff got the same problem that I got - impossible to resolve dependencies. Something like:
teamviewer:i386 depends on libfontconfig1.
teamviewer:i386 depends on libasound2.
teamviewer:i386 depends on libxdamage1.
teamviewer:i386 depends on libxinerama1.
teamviewer:i386 depends on libxrandr2.
teamviewer:i386 depends on libxtst6.
…etc.
I can resolve all of them by installing <name_of_package>:i386 versions, except libfontconfig1:i386 due to an errors. The only way to install it I found is to downgrade version of libfontconfig1, but with downgraded version teamviewer refuses to start. Later I’ll post the error messages.

Seems to be a general error as teamviewer is only shipping 32bit versions.
The internet is full of problems like this: https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/Linux/Help-Installing-TeamViewer-12-in-debian-9-linux/td-p/16118
now I succeeded in installing teamviewer
sudo apt install libfontconfig1:i386and then
sudo apt install ./teamviewer_12.0.85001_i386.debquit every question with yes and teamviewer is running.
Ciao!

nice that it worked.
Hopefully Teamviewer will soon upgrade to be a native 64bit application.
OK then, finally I managed teamviewer to work too. In my case I downgrade version of libfontconfig1, then install libfontconfig1:i386, then install teamviewer itself. All just like last time, BUT! Teamviewer not refuses to launch as I expect earlier, but just takes a very long time for first “cold start”. Behaviour strange enough for me.
I can only guess here. But I expect fontconfig maybe recreating it cache for 32bit fonts. (We had that issue previously with skype which was a 32bit app)
