Ubuntu – Citrix Receiver on Ubuntu 12.10

12.10citrix

Was anybody able to install Citrix Receiver on Ubuntu 12.10?

Both 32 bit and 64 bit deb package fail to install properly.

here is the error message for installing 64 bit package:

sudo dpkg -i icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb 
(Reading database ... 139512 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace icaclient 12.1.0 (using icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement icaclient ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of icaclient:
 icaclient depends on ia32-libs; however:
  Package ia32-libs is not installed.
 icaclient depends on nspluginwrapper; however:
  Package nspluginwrapper is not installed.
dpkg: error processing icaclient (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 icaclient

It seems like the problem is that it needs nspluginwrapper and nspluginwrapper needs nspluginviewer and nspluginviewer is not available in Ubuntu 12.10

When I try to install the 32 bit deb package I get the following error message:

sudo dpkg -i icaclient-12.1.0_i386.deb 
dpkg: error processing icaclient-12.1.0_i386.deb (--install):
 package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 icaclient-12.1.0_i386.deb

Any suggestions?

I had the same problem after a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10. It seems that you have to install nspluginwrapper first. This can be done with the software center for example. After that the install worked fine.
