While trying to install Teamviewer 9 on 64-bit Ubuntu 13.10, you’ll get a dependencies error such as this:
Unpacking teamviewer (from teamviewer_linux_x64.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of teamviewer:
teamviewer depends on lib32asound2; however:
Package lib32asound2 is not installed.
teamviewer depends on lib32z1; however:
Package lib32z1 is not installed.
teamviewer depends on ia32-libs; however:
Package ia32-libs is not installed.
dpkg: error processing teamviewer (--install):

The problem is that the teamviewer_linux_x64.deb has dependencies problems. It isn’t recommended for distributions using multiarch (Ubuntu 12.04 and later). For said distributions the teamviewer_linux.deb package should be used.
This is noted in the help page of Teamviewer:
Notes to Multiarch:
On newer 64-bit DEB-systems with Multiarch-support (Debian 7)
teamviewer_linux_x64.deb cannot be installed because the package
ia32-libs is not available anymore on these systems.
In this case you can use teamviewer_linux.deb instead.

So, here’s how to install it:
1. Download it
wget http:
//www
.teamviewer.com
/download/teamviewer_linux
.deb
|
2. Install gdebi (GDebi can install local .deb packages with automatic dependency resolution (it automatically downloads and installs the required packages).):
sudo
apt-get
install
gdebi
|
3. In the same directory you download the .deb file just run:
sudo
gdebi teamviewer_linux.deb
