Previous Citrix Workspace and Receiver Steps on older Debian Versions
Installing icaclient_19 on Stretch
In 2018, Citrix Receiver was replaced by Citrix Workspace app. Download the official Citrix Workspace app for Debian available here and and run the following commands:
$ sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 $ sudo dpkg -i icaclient_19.3.0.5_amd64.deb
Installing icaclient_19 on Buster
In 2018, Citrix Receiver was replaced by Citrix Workspace app. Download the official Citrix Workspace app for Debian available here and download libwebkitgtk-1.0-0, libicu57, and libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0 from Stretch, then run the following command:
$ sudo dpkg -i libicu57_57.1-6+deb9u2_amd64.deb libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-3_amd64.deb libwebkitgtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-3_amd64.deb icaclient_19.3.0.5_amd64.deb
Installing icaclient_20 on Buster
In 2018, Citrix Receiver was replaced by Citrix Workspace app. Download the official Citrix Workspace app for Debian available here and install it using apt install ./icaclient_*.deb as root (or with sudo). You do not, in my experience, need to install anything from stretch. You will (I assume) need the dependencies in citrix's .deb - on my gnome installation they were already installed
Citrix's packaging is not high quality, for example:
- files are installed in /opt;
- there are multiple statically linked files;
- there are multiple embedded libraries;
- the postinst is several scripts pasted together;
- the postinst and makes a number of modifications to your system;
- the postinst attempts to integrate with netscape;
- the postinst installs a plugin for either gstreamer1.0 or 0.10.0 depending on which version it finds installed (there are comments in the postinst that say 0.10 is preferred, but in my experience it works fine with 1.0);
- the postinst deletes files in $HOME for every user.
These deficiencies apply to all versions from (at least) 13 to 20.
