Installing Packet Tracer on Ubuntu 23.10

[Lourel17]

Hello everyone,

I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 23.10 on my laptop, I was able to reinstall every single software excepted Cisco Packet Tracer. The error message by installing it from the official .deb package is the following one: 

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
packettracer: depends: libgl1-mesa-glx but it is not installable

Of course I tried to install libgl1-mesa-glx from an old repository, but it didn't work. Has anyone managed to install it?
Thanks

Having the same issue. I attempted to apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx, but I guess it isn't in the Ubuntu repository anymore.

Hello

I am facing the same problem

I have ubuntu 22.10 and cannot install packet tracer because that dependency is not available even when I tried 

sudo apt install -f

This worked, thank you very much!

I'll also add that you should make sure to use gdebi when installing. For me, I was unable to accept the license agreement from the terminal, causing the download to freeze. You can install gdebi from Ubuntu repos in the terminal with the command "sudo apt-get install gdebi"

Thank you very much for your work! Solved the problem for me.

I just noticed the gdebi command can only install packages one by one, so I had to perform it again to install the second one.

I tried that way but didn't get any result. Someone can tell me how else can we do it?
