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.

Checked the pkbuild and everything (from my understanding) should be working correctly but I still get this error. ==> Building and installing package ==> Making package: packettracer 7.0-1 (Mon Jul 25 17:25:06 CDT 2016) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving sources... -> Found packettracer -> Found linguist -> Found packettracer.sh ==> ERROR: PacketTracer70_64bit_linux.tar.gz was not found in the build directory and is not a URL. ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build packettracer.

@r4_broadcast, I don't know what is the problem, in the package are both 32 & 64 bits with the differents dependencies for each archs, not is necessary to split.

Since 7.0, Cisco Packet Tracer comes with 32 bit and 64 bit versions. I think now there's a need to separate both, mainly because they don't have the same dependencies. I don't have the experience to maintain an entry to this awesome repo that is the AUR, but I think some one had to acknowledge this fact to the maintainers, so they take the decision to update packages according to the actual packages offered. Thank You and keep the great work...!!!

@sebast331, These errors appears when you attempt to makepkg and fails, you need to clean the files extracted in the temp directory where pacman compiles the package or reboot, furthermore the desktop file is pointing to the right path.

It seems the included .desktop file is still pointing to PacketTracer6. The paths should be changed to /usr/share/packettracer/* ------- Cisco-PacketTracer.desktop ------- [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Application Exec=/usr/share/packettracer/packettracer Icon=/usr/share/packettracer/art/app.png Name=Cisco Packet Tracer Categories=Application;Network; MimeType=application/x-pkt;application/x-pka;application/x-pkz; --------------------- Also, dont know why, but I couldn't install using the AUR package. I had to manually "makepkg" then "sudo pacman -U packettracer-7.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz". Using the AUR package (through pacaur), I was getting a lot of those errors: PacketTracer70/saves/7.0/IoE_Devices/garage_door.pkt: Can't unlink already-existing object PacketTracer70/saves/7.0/IoE_Devices/old_car.pkt: Can't unlink already-existing object

@polo, for me working OK and login without issues. @z3ntu, I'll implement your changes with the same version to avoid users to reinstall the package.

Directory change /usr/local/PacketTracer6 to usr/share/packettracer also unable to login after update.

Hello, Bump to new version packettracer 7.0. @TCGman it's correct, isn't possible put a source array in the PKGBUILD without it inside the package. Now it's mandatory to have a Networking Academy account and download the file and put in the source directory, it's free.
