I'm trying to install TeamViewer 9 from deb file however it says it needs ia32-libs so it won't install:

I tried to do some fix with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade but:

$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 : Depends: libglapi-mesa:i386

                            Depends: libglu1-mesa:i386 but it is not going to be installed

                            Depends: libqt4-opengl:i386 but it is not going to be installed

                            Recommends: libgl1-mesa-glx:i386

                            Recommends: libgl1-mesa-dri:i386

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

What is the work-around for this?

One of the way that unmet dependencies results is, when the installing package depend on other package which has its own dependent packages.

System installs only the installing package's dependencies. If those dependencies has their own dependencies (second level), then error of unmet dependencies results.

Here libglu1-mesa, libqt4-opengl also depends on other packages.

In such a case. it should be include the packages those not going to be installed to the installation list.

For extra safety, it is better to run --install-recommends to install the recommended packages even.

So run :

sudo apt-get --install-recommends install ia32-libs-multiarch libglu1-mesa libqt4-opengl
