Teamviewer Not Correctly Installed

Question

I installed (partially) TeamViewer but the installation did not complete because dependency errors. Teamviewer depends on ia32-libs which depends on ia32-libs-i386. The dependency tree can get quite long.

I tried running sudo apt-get install -f to no avail. Please if anyone has tips on installation help me.

As suggested the output of sudo apt-get install -f is

More problems to get a complete view of this problem. I tried this dpkg --add-architecture i386 but dpkg says

dpkg: error: unknown option --add-architecture

so might the problem be with dpkg?

Could you post what does sudo apt-get install -f exactly say at the moment? — Vadim Peretokin, Sep 08 '13 at 08:40
as you can see I enter the command and see that. I remove teamviewer and then try and re-install. Its a cycle :( — mojo706, Sep 08 '13 at 18:44
Make sure you need the 32 bit version. I has similar problems and tracked it back to running the 32 bit instead of the 64 bit version. — crafter, Sep 08 '13 at 19:13
Can you add the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list, apt-cache depends teamviewer and sudo apt-get check? — Braiam, Sep 12 '13 at 12:37

Do what it says - type Y. Then download the 64bit .deb from https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux.aspx, double-click on that and install that - it'll work.

I tried that. The one I have is the 64 bit version. I have tried everything you have asked. – mojo706 Sep 09 '13 at 12:00
What is the mentioned dependency tree, then? You haven't posted part of the output and only what you see when you have to remove the package due to incomplete dependencies. – Vadim Peretokin Sep 09 '13 at 20:24
here are the dependencies. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6087054/ – mojo706 Sep 10 '13 at 09:03

Nope no help there. I tried installing the said package for 12.04 but it did not work. – mojo706 Sep 10 '13 at 11:58
At this point it would be really helpful to know your Ubuntu version. In your pastebin you mentioned ia32-libs-multiarch - which is only available for 13.04...
Is there a reason you are trying sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch:i386? It should be sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch.

I tried all the above suggestions man to no avail :( – mojo706 Sep 11 '13 at 16:55
Okay, but that adds nothing to conversation. I asked you what Ubuntu version you are on, and if sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch failed, the output of what happened when you did that.
Otherwise, we've got nowhere to go here without you adding more.

I am 12.04.3 I get numerous other dependencies.See the http://paste.ubuntu.com/6094454/ – mojo706 Sep 11 '13 at 21:43
Then install https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/ia32-libs-multiarch only. – Vadim Peretokin Sep 11 '13 at 22:23
Here is what I get when I try to install the said package. http://i.stack.imgur.com/DzrpW.png – mojo706 Sep 11 '13 at 22:59
I'm dubious that you are on 12.04.3 or that your software sources are setup correctly.
Go to the software sources, enable (main), (universe), (restricted) and (multiverse) at minimum.
