Hi, I'm trying to install Cisco Packet Tracer on my Ubuntu 23.10. However I keep receiving the error "Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
packettracer : Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."
Is this because Cisco Packet Tracer is not supported on Ubuntu 23.10?
Your help is truly appreciated.
@KutlwanoModutsoane You should be able to install Packet Tracer on Ubuntu 23.04. I was able to install it and it is working fine. Based on the output that you share, it seems that you have unmet dependency. Try to reinstall Packet Tracer by running a similar command: sudo apt-get -f install ./CiscoPacketTracer_821_Ubuntu_64bit.deb. Before running the install command, you need to change the directory. You need to be in the same directory as the CiscoPacketTracer_821_Ubuntu_64bit.deb packet. I hope this helps you!
I tried to install Packet Tracer on Ubuntu 23.10 and I encountered the same issue.

@KutlwanoModutsoane Until Cisco adds support for Ubuntu 23.10, you will need to use an older Ubuntu version (20.04, 22.04 LTS or 23.04).
@@GulianTechnology Thanks a million, this worked just fine.
@@KutlwanoModutsoane Thank you for your feedback. Did you manage to install Packet Tracer on Ubuntu 23.10 or did you install it on another Ubuntu version?
