 sudo apt --fix-missing update --allow-unauthenticated

There is also a Docker container that might works better for you if it is the case

I've been encountering this issue for nearly a month and thus was how I solved it.

The two dependencies that refused to install were:

1) libxcb-xinerama0-dev

2) libgl1-mesa-glx

I simply installed the first one by opening my terminal and typing "sudo apt install libxcb-xinerama0-dev" and it worked.

Now, for the second dependency which was "libgl1-mesa-glx", I manually downloaded the file which was gotten from https://packages.debian.org/sid/libgl1-mesa-glx.

Scroll down and choose your architecture and click on it. When you get to the next page, choose any mirror link you want to start the download(it's a deb file).

When the download is done, open your terminal and type "sudo dpkg -i dependency_name.deb" and click enter or use a package installer to install it.

When the installation is done, try installing packet tracer by typing "sudo dpkg -i packet_tracer.deb" and click enter. This should install packet tracer finally for you.

I hope this helps.

Cheers!!

Hi everyone! I am trying to use PT 822 for the first time, i have tried on Kali and Mint and i get a error on both. libgl1-mesa-glx it is not installable and there is no installation candidate. On some Kali forums i have red that is a bug on Cisco side. Its been 2 days already that i am trying to make this work. Does anyone has a solution, or an link to get an older version of PT? Thank you!

Hello Kimalab, 

Have you tried...AnalystChris's solution...?

 It worked for others..!!

I simply installed the first one by opening my terminal and typing "sudo apt install libxcb-xinerama0-dev" and it worked.

I hope this helps.
