On a fresh install of teamviewer15, when started the first time, an error message dialogue is displayed with the message: "Loading EULA/DPA failed Your TeamViewer installation seems to be broken and cannot be used. Please reinstall." After checking with strace, I find the following messages: openat(AT_FDCWD, "/opt/teamviewer15//doc/EULA_en.txt", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) openat(AT_FDCWD, "/opt/teamviewer15//doc/DPA_en.txt", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) /opt/teamviewer/doc is a symlink to ../../usr/share/doc/teamviewer-15.19.3-r1/doc So it is obvious that TeamViewer expects his documents in clear text file format, while portage compresses all documents in /usr/share/doc/teamviewer-15.19.3-r1/doc. Crosschecking: uncompressing these docs manually bzip2 --decompress /usr/share/doc/teamviewer-*/doc/EULA_* /usr/share/doc/teamviewer-*/doc/DPA_* allows me to start TeamViewer and shows the "license agreement" dialogue. This is not a duplicate of Bug #778617, looks more like the fix is insufficient.
It looks like "docompress -x" is not recursive.

I would really like to understand why it is working for me. It's like bug 778617. I have zero problems. Program works fine :(
I am sure this happens only when you start teamviewer the VERY first time on a computer. I tried a lot with deleting local configs and logs to reproduce (I accepted EULA in the meantime....) but I cant find it. Maybe it's done by creating the local station ID on first run and transferring it to teamviewer's server in the internet.
