Installing Citrix Receiver on Ubuntu 20.04 - missing libwebkitgtk-1.0.0

Question

I'm trying to install Citrix on Ubuntu 20.04 and facing the following issue:

✓ ~/Downloads→ sudo dpkg -i icaclient_13.10.0.20_amd64.deb                                                                                                                                                                           [20:33:59]

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of icaclient:
 icaclient depends on libwebkit-1.0-2 | libwebkitgtk-1.0-0; however:
  Package libwebkit-1.0-2 is not installed.
  Package libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package icaclient (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:
 icaclient

I couldn't find ibwebkit-1.0-2 or libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 in focal-fossa repos, and installing from .deb is not an option since these packages depend on a whole lot of other things it seems. And of course I also have newer versions of these libraries, so I'm not sure i would be able to install the required versions even if I found all dependencies manually.

Is there any way to fix this to make Citrix work on Ubuntu 20.04? I've spent 3 days setting up my system and I don't even want to think of getting back on 18.04...

Solution

I am on ubuntu 20.04 and the client installed deb worked fine
https://www.citrix.com/downloads/workspace-app/linux/workspace-app-for-linux-latest.html

debian -> full packages -> Citrix Workspace app for Linux (x86_64)

sudo dpkg -i icaclient_20.9.0.15_amd64.deb

once installed to launch search for citrix in the ubuntu dash ( tap WIN key and enter citrix then choose Citrix Workspace) ... it launched OK

I did not need to install any dependancies however this blog shows some other steps I did not need to do https://tech.xenit.se/how-to-install-citrix-workspace-on-ubuntu/

Refer askubuntu.com/help/on-topic where you'll notice only supported releases of Ubuntu and flavors are on-topic for this site. For focal fossa [20.04] questions you'll need to use a development support site such as IRC (#ubuntu+1) or Ubuntu Forums, or wait until after release for this site (expected release date for Ubuntu 20.04 is 23rd April 2020 when your question will be on-topic here).

[Admin]

If you're after support you should use a #ubuntu+1 site as focal fossa hasn't been released yet, however if you're QA-testing and are seeking help with bug reporting, you can also use #ubuntu-quality on IRC or telegram; for help with help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs

Sorry about posting on the wrong site. It was a long day... :)

Thanks a lot, saved my day! I had to add a softlink for mozilla certs to fix the SSL error, otherwise works fine.

Softlink instructions are here: help.ubuntu.com/community/… In my case I needed sudo ln -s /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/GlobalSign_Root_CA.crt .
