My Ubuntu doesn't want to install TeamViewer 11 again. :(
I had problems with sound - I tried to install Realtek HD Audio driver, but Ubuntu after installation and reboot forgot about sound chip on my motherboard and no sound was produced.
So I decided to reinstall Ubuntu (with saving my personal data including apps) using my USB Key.
Well - I had to install again GRUB Customizer, Steam and more recent apps that I use and they worked perfectly.
Without TeamViewer... TeamViewer dropped some problems with packages not installed, but after, when I wrote to terminal commend

sudo apt-get install -f

it installs these packages, uninstalling also TeamViewer.
Now when I try to install 32bit version, terminal dropps me this error:

Selecting previously unselected package teamviewer:i386.
(Reading database ... 179972 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../teamviewer_11.0.67687_i386.deb ...

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of teamviewer:i386:

dpkg: error processing package teamviewer:i386 (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:
 teamviewer:i386

On 64bit version I see this error:

Selecting previously unselected package teamviewer.
(Reading database ... 179972 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../teamviewer_11.0.67687_amd64.deb ...

  teamviewer depends on ia32-libs; however:
  Package ia32-libs is not installed.

 dpkg: error processing package teamviewer (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:

So... what can I do? On Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS worked fine.

I used this tutorial.

I have the solution for installing TeamViewer on 16.10. I hope that this will work for all.
When you see this error...

Selecting previously unselected package teamviewer:i386.
(Reading database ... 179972 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../teamviewer_11.0.67687_i386.deb ...
Unpacking teamviewer:i386 (11.0.67687) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of teamviewer:i386:
 teamviewer:i386 depends on libpng12-0.

dpkg: error processing package teamviewer:i386 (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 teamviewer:i386

type sudo apt-get install -f and say "yes".
After that go to this website, download the package and install also from terminal using command

sudo dpkg -i libpng12-0_xxxxx_i386.deb

where xxxxx is the version of your libpng. I used the stable version 1.2.50-2+deb8u2.
After that again install TeamViewer and you will don't have errors. ;)
I hope that for everyone this solution will work perfectly.

Use new Teamviewer 12, it doesn't have libpng12 dependency.
