I tried to install and got this error:

sh@Notebook-PC:~$ sudo dpkg --install viber.deb 
[sudo] password for sh: 
(Reading database ... 319492 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack viber.deb ...

This means that the Deb archive is corrupt. Download it again and compare checksums if possible. – David Foerster Feb 6 '15 at 0:00

Probably no one will read this answer, but i had a very similar issue to this. I solved it by downloading zip file from here

wget http://download.cdn.viber.com/cdn/desktop/Linux/Viber.zip

Then run this commands

unzip Viber.zip
cd Viber
~/Viber/Viber.sh

Hopefully this will solve your issue.
