Help Installing TeamViewer 12 in debian 9 linux

[wkhan69]

Hi,
Newbie here.  I'm trying to install teamview 12 in my debian 9 linux on an old laptop. 
I downloaded the package teamview_12xxx_i386.deb

I did (as root):

Code: [Select]

apt install ./teamview_12xxx_i386.deb
Here are the errors:

Code: [Select]

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
