Hi

I cannot install newest citrix client 64-bit for Linux on Wheezy 64-bit.

This 64-bit package seems to be buggy.

It should work with 32-bit package of the citrix client on 64-bit system.

I had this same issue with 64 bit commercial software from Codeweavers. Try the following:

Code:

apt-get install multiarch-support

If that doesn't allow you to install (it didn't work for me). Try this:

Code:

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
dpkg -i icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb
apt-get -f install

In my case, the "apt-get -f install" resulted in a bunch of i386 packages being installed, but after that I was able to install my deb file. Honestly, I haven't had the time to read and learn about what is going on here, but the above steps worked for me and everything appears to be functioning as it should. It appears that ia32-libs are somewhat deprecated, but the ia32-libs package was a dependency and was installed on my system at the end with "apt-get -f install".

Thx a lot, it was wasting of time for me, I went back already to wheezy 32-bit and 32-bit version of citrix client works well.

BTW here are another possible solutions, I didn't try:

Hi, I had to download the nspluginwrapper from squeezy in order to get the 64-bit icaclient to install. Here are the steps I followed:

1. Download the squeezy nspluginwrapper at the link:

https://packages.debian.org/squeeze/...apper/download

2. Download the Citrix icaclient at the link:

http://www.citrix.com/downloads/citrix-receiver/linux

3. Add the 32-bit architecture option

Code:

$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ sudo apt-get update

4. Install the nspluginwrapper downloaded in step 1

Code:

$ sudo dpkg -i nspluginwrapper_1.3.0-1_amd64.deb
$ sudo apt-get -f install

5. Finally install the Citrix ica client

Code:

$ sudo dpkg -i icaclient_13.0.0.256735_amd64.deb
