If you're using KDE plasma, you can do some fixes to the .desktop file:
1) Color correction if using dark themes:
sudo sed -i "s/\/opt\/packettracer\/packettracer/XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME \/opt\/packettracer\/packettracer/g" /usr/share/applications/cisco-pt.desktop
sudo sed -i "s/\/opt\/packettracer\/packettracer/XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME \/opt\/packettracer\/packettracer/g" /usr/share/applications/cisco-ptsa.desktop
2) Set window title for application:
echo "StartupWMClass=PacketTracer" | sudo tee -a /usr/share/applications/cisco-pt.desktop
echo "StartupWMClass=PacketTracer" | sudo tee -a /usr/share/applications/cisco-ptsa.desktop
Hope this helps somebody and saves some time.
I'm having problem with this package cause of openssl dependencies: it requires 1.1.x but Arch provides 3.0.x.
ERROR: CiscoPacketTracer_820_Ubuntu_64bit.deb was not found in the build directory.
This error can be solved by renaming the deb file to the specified name in the error. This had such a simple solution but it took me an eternity to find it in a reddit comment
I'm not sure how I can suggest change to PKGBUILD file, so writing comment here. The PKBUILD fails if there is space in the path.
Tested and this patch fixes the issue:
- chown -R 0:0 ${pkgdir}
+ chown -R 0:0 "${pkgdir}"
- mv ${pkgdir}/opt/pt/ ${pkgdir}/opt/packettracer/
+ mv "${pkgdir}/opt/pt/" "${pkgdir}/opt/packettracer/"
Hope to see it in the next version.

@Sensu, these are only the hardware requirements, not the software dependencies.
@JoshuaCMartin Seems like the maintainer added those dependencies to this AUR package. However you still need to download Packet Tracer from one of Cisco's websites and place it into the build folder.
At least that's all I had to do when installing Packet Tracer.
@runnytu You may want to take a look at if the java runtime packages are still needed as deps. Since Cisco currently only lists the following system requirements for Packet Tracer 8.20:
Cisco Packet Tracer 8.2 (64 bit):

@slimfx спасибо большое за ссылку
Hey,thanks for the instruction, JoshuaCMartin (comment below). I'm from Russia, so I had to download via VPN, with low speed. Downloaded from here https://skillsforall.com/resources/lab-downloads . Uploaded it for your convenience. Russians, turn off the Internet before running the application, otherwise it does not work (cisco blocked Russia) // Перезалил для вашего удобства. Россияне, выключайте интернет перед запуском приложения, иначе оно не работает (cisco заблокировало Россию) https://mega.nz/file/634gSbwS#cPxUGCOfL3lI7jgta2XwXkYYQV_ZzSzhvSlZ2TdtyIM

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.
