Issue installing Citrix client in Ubuntu 64 bit

Written by Mel Kham on . Posted in Frequently Asked Questions, Linux tutorials, Unix Tutorials

Question : When trying installing Citrix client in Ubuntu 64 bit, i got the following error:

unselected package icaclient.
 (Reading database ... 168913 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking icaclient (from .../icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb) ... Setting up icaclient (12.1.0) ... dpkg: error processing icaclient (--install): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Processing triggers for menu ... Errors were encountered while processing: icaclient

Solution:

To resolve the issue,  open terminal and edit  icaclient.postinst file

sudo vim /var/lib/dpkg/info/icaclient.postinst

Find

echo $Arch|grep "i[0-9]86" >/dev/null

Replace with

echo $Arch|grep -E "i[0-9]86|x86_64" >/dev/null

save  and exit

Now  run

pirat9@HP ~ $ sudo dpkg --configure icaclient
Setting up icaclient (12.1.0) ...
Processing triggers for men

Done :)

This  solution has  been  tested  with success  under  Ubuntu 12.04  and  Mint 13

    This definitely works, as I stumbled across this fix a few weeks back.  But the the Citrix client also works seemlessly with Chrome now too (not just Firefox)!

    Thank you very much! Why oh why can’t they simply change one line for 64 bit support I don’t know…

    Thanks very much for this. It worked also on Linux Mint 14 and saved me a ton of grief.

Just delete the space after the slash (/) it will work.

I tried it and it works with a regular zip file, but if you password-protect the .zip file it does NOT work.
