ok i have just applied it and it is dowloading now (9 programs) associated to teamviewer!

AFAIK, you should mark it(teamviewer7) for Install and then Apply Changes and Synaptic will install it.
Long time since I've used synaptic and don't even have it in this computer, but the process should be how I described.

When Synaptic finishes installing it, just look for Teamviewer in your Programs menu and start it

Then, when you open it, it will show you your ID and a one-time password for remote access. Send me those in a PM.

Ignore it and see if Teamviewer works. But some of those should be dependencies, so probably it won't work. Nothing like trying. You can always go back later and try to fix broken packages.

One question, did you update the packages list when you opened Synaptic? can't remember if it does it by it's own or not.
Just searched, and you need to press the "Reload" button on Synaptic for it to download updated package lists.
Then you can install Teamviewer, after the package information is current.

I'm staying for long hours. My work day just started 3 hours ago

But I think you should Reload first and then mark Teamviewer for installation.
Now it's probably only updating what needs to be updated in your computer.
