Was suffering the same pain as @rickytigg
Found the solution to my Packet Tracer / Ubuntu headaches here...
..Download & install the packages from 22.04 repository:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libegl1-mesa_23.0.4-0ubuntu1~22.04.1_amd64.deb
- Hope this'll help some other folk from undue suffering as well!

Instead of apt-get, use GDebi

It installs all dependencies automatically.
