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 .install script in this package is an abomination and should never have been uploaded to the internet as is.

• Don't use sudo in .install scripts, the sudo package is potentially not even installed on the target system and the scripts run under UID 0 anyway.

• The remove_pt() in pre_install() stuff belongs either in the PKGBUILD or should be removed since it's not used anywhere in the script. Why should these files not be tracked by pacman?

• Updating the various icon/desktop/mime DBs and caches should be left to the libalpm hooks that provide these binaries, it doesn't belong here.

• Editing files that or owned by other packages is a big NO! NO!, you do not simply mangle /etc/profile, this has to go away. We have /etc/profile.d for this exact reason or alternatively communicate to the user that they have to set them manually in their configs.

TLDR: For getting it to work in Manjaro I had to: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libdouble-conversion.so /opt/packettracer/bin/libdouble-conversion.so.1

.

While installing the package, I get those warnings:

warning: directory permissions differ on /opt/packettracer/help/

filesystem: 755 package: 777

warning: directory permissions differ on /opt/packettracer/saves/

filesystem: 755 package: 555

But it seems to install fine, but it does not run in my Manjaro by default.

[deemon@Zen packettracer]$ /opt/packettracer/packettracer

Starting Packet Tracer 7.3.0

[deemon@Zen packettracer]$

...aaand nothing happens.

.

.

OI! got it working... while analyzing the contents of bash script /opt/packettracer/packettracer (default installed executable for this program) I tried to run the command with the given variables...

[deemon@Zen packettracer]$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/packettracer/bin PTDIR=/opt/packettracer /opt/packettracer/bin/PacketTracer7

/opt/packettracer/bin/PacketTracer7: error while loading shared libraries: libdouble-conversion.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and then tried to run it WITHOUT the LD_LIBRARY_PATH crap and it started working!!! :-)

[deemon@Zen packettracer]$ /opt/packettracer/bin/PacketTracer7

and it WORKS! :)

and or creating symbolic link for the library works also: [deemon@Zen bin]$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libdouble-conversion.so /opt/packettracer/bin/libdouble-conversion.so.1

Hi,

Newer versions of PacketTracer can be extracted manually using the QT installer framework's devtool.

The Latest Version can be installed normally by running the run file.

Can confirm. But needs community/libpng12 to run.

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.
