Unable to install Packet Tracer on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Packet Tracer v.: 8.2.2

Hello. Reported in terminal when attempting to install the program:

$ sudo apt-get install ./Packet_Tracer822_amd64_signed.deb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'packettracer' instead of './Packet_Tracer822_amd64_signed.deb'
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
packettracer : Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Instead of apt-get, use GDebi

It installs all dependencies automatically.
