To install all versions of packettracer except 7.2.2, follow this guidelines: 1. Download the snapshot from this AUR. 2. Tar -zxf the packettracer.tar.gz snapshot (it creates the dir packettracer/ with the PKGBUILD on it). 3. Download the latest packettracer tarball from your Netacad account and copy it into the packettracer/ dir. 4. Create the package with the command makepkg (it creates a packettracer.pkg.tar.xz). 5. Install the package with either makepkg -i or sudo pacman -U packettracer.pkg.tar.xz.

Packettracer 7.2.2 are auto installable via run file, download it from netacad webpage and run it, you don't need this package.

The Latest Version can be installed normally by running the run file. First Uninstall the old thing though. sudo rm -rf /opt/pt

this build needs to be edited for the run file.

Updated: In order to install Packet Tracer just follow runnytu comment, but you must edit PKGBUILD file like that:

original: source=('packettracer' 'linguist' 'packettracer.sh' 'local://Packet Tracer 7.2.1 for Linux 64 bit.tar.gz')

the way that works: source=('packettracer' 'linguist' 'packettracer.sh' 'local://packet_tracer_7.2.1_for_linux_64_bit.tar.gz')

The other way is just rename the file according to PKGBUILD.

@runnytu Hmm, it's strange...

runnytu commented on 2019-04-04 16:41 (UTC)

@Barazok, in my system, packettracert it still working without issues without qt5-x11extras package installed.

@runnytu please add qt5-x11extras in dependencies, since the last system update packettracer fail to launch with the following exception :

"Fatal: This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"."

Installing qt5-x11extras fix this issue.

@FFY00, Changed.

You should also drop all the _x86_64 stuff, there's no other architecture available.

Hello, please fix the package as I stated bellow or I'll orphan it.

You are working with a binary blob. This should be installed to /opt.

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_package_guidelines#Directories

It falls under "Large self-contained packages".

Also, where the hell did you read installing to /opt is disallowed?!
