Adrian, all, I would advise against using TeamViewer, as it currently has concerning security issues, and might as well be malware. I suggest using RustDesk instead. It's an open-source alternative that you can trust. 73, Neil On Wed, Apr 23, 2025, 07:01 Adrian Fewster, VK4TUX via <vk4tux= [email protected]> wrote: Had to install Teamviewer to help a ham friend the other day, but got caught out by the policykit-1 dependency not available, as Trixie now uses pkexec & polkitd instead.

I had to rebuild the latest debian/Ubuntu deb from Teamviewer ;
?
adrian@debian:~$ ?cd /home/adrian/Downloads
adrian@debian:~/Downloads$ dpkg-deb --raw-extract teamviewer_15.64.3_amd64.deb teamviewer
adrian@debian:~/Downloads$ sed -i "s/policykit-1/pkexec, polkitd/" teamviewer/DEBIAN/control
adrian@debian:~/Downloads$ fakeroot -- dpkg-deb --build teamviewer teamviewer-rebuilt.deb
dpkg-deb: building package 'teamviewer' in 'teamviewer-rebuilt.deb'.
adrian@debian:~/Downloads$ sudo apt install ./teamviewer-rebuilt.deb
Note, selecting 'teamviewer' instead of './teamviewer-rebuilt.deb'
