Title: Team viewer
Post by: gerinho on May 06, 2016, 02:55:35 PM
Hi

I would like to install Teamviewer on my Xfce x64, but it requires libpng12-0 as a dependency and I can' find it in Synaptics...
Any clue?

Thanks in advance  :)

It has to be there.
Do:
sudo apt-get update
apt-cache policy libpng12-0

and show me the second command output.

Greetings from germany...

just for the next time...

when you are sure, that the system is up to date.... try (as root)apt-get -f install

and all the missing stuff will come to your machine  8) with magic  8)

works great when you install some deb-packages the konsole-way (like webmin....)
