Iam trying to install Teamviewer 14.0.14470 or teamviewer_14.0.14470_amd64.deb to be precise.
I have tried using the software center but the gui shows "Dependency is not satisfiable: libqt5gui | qt56-teamviewer".
Tried to install using "sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_14.0.14470_amd64.deb" but get a series of dependency problems like so ...


...
teamviewer depends on libqt5gui5 (>= 5.5) | qt56-teamviewer; however:
Version of libqt5gui5:amd64 on system is 5.2.1+dfsg-1ubuntu14.3.
Package qt56-teamviewer is not installed.
teamviewer depends on libqt5widgets5 (>= 5.5) | qt56-teamviewer; however:
Version of libqt5widgets5:amd64 on system is 5.2.1+dfsg-1ubuntu14.3.
Package qt56-teamviewer is not installed
...

Checked version of qt using


atp@atp-2404:~/Downloads$ qmake --version
QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.2.1 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
atp@atp-2404:~/Downloads$


Shows qt 5.2 is installed.
Tried to install libqt5gui5


atp@atp-2404:~/Downloads$ sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5

libqt5gui5 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Shows that libqt5gui5 is already there.
But then qtchooser shows this


atp@atp-2404:~/Downloads$ qtchooser -list-versions
4
5
default
qt4-i386-linux-gnu
qt4-x86_64-linux-gnu
qt4
qt5-x86_64-linux-gnu
qt5


Seems there are two versions of Qt and installing libqt5gui5 says its already at the newer version but then the Teamviewer install still fails.
Anyone had this problem?

Try the newest release 14.1.3399 (https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux/)

Welcome to dependency hell.

Your package needs a version of a library that's not available from the repositories of Ubuntu 14.04. On Ubuntu 14.04, libqt5gui5 was frozen at version 5.2 and you need at least 5.5. I should also remind you that Ubuntu 14.04 only has about 3 months of support left, so it's time to move to a more recent release, either 16.04 LTS or jump straight to 18.04 LTS. Both Ubuntu releases come with a version of libqt5gui5 that satisfies your dependency (5.5 and 5.9).
