Therefore, I run command sudo apt-get install -f and then execute command sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1 and by doing this i got this

So how to i Install teamviewer in ubuntu 12.04 64bit.

So your system is 64 bit.

So when i install (2.) through ubuntu software centre I got error shows

So you are installing the 32 bit version?!

Why you are doing that, since you have 64 bit package why you are going to to install the 32bit package.

Anyway 

teamviewer:i386 depends on libfontconfig1.

Then you should install libfontconfig1:i386 and not just libfontconfig1, but this may put you in some dependencies hell.

So I advise you to download the 64 bit again and install it instead to get rid of those possible problems.

Quoted from: How do I install TeamViewer on my Linux distribution?

For 64-bit DEB-systems without Multiarch you need the teamviewer_amd64.deb package.

For the 64-bit package:

sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_linux_x64.deb

In case “dpkg” indicates missing dependencies, complete the installation by executing the following command:

sudo apt-get install -f

As I had posted elsewhere.

You could try doing this sudo apt-get purge team-viewer-package-name and sudo apt-get purge libfontconfig1 ,then install libfontconfig1 and then Teamviewer.

Purge - Purge is identical to remove except that packages are removed and purged. Purge meaning that any configuration files are deleted too.

Also try this and see which all directories have teamviewer installed in them dpkg -L team-viewer-package-name and dpkg -L libfontconfig1.

Make sure you have run this after installing libfontconfig1 sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade.

Let me know if this works or not.

Type these commands after you get the error message

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update

It is stated in the teamviewer documentation that there is possibility of wrong architecture error while installing x86 package on 64 bit. This should solve the issue
