I'm trying to install Citrix on Ubuntu 20.04 and facing the following issue:

✓ ~/Downloads→ sudo dpkg -i icaclient_13.10.0.20_amd64.deb                                                                                                                                                                           [20:33:59]

 icaclient depends on libwebkit-1.0-2 | libwebkitgtk-1.0-0; however:
  Package libwebkit-1.0-2 is not installed.
  Package libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package icaclient (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:
 icaclient

I couldn't find ibwebkit-1.0-2 or libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 in focal-fossa repos, and installing from .deb is not an option since these packages depend on a whole lot of other things it seems. And of course I also have newer versions of these libraries, so I'm not sure i would be able to install the required versions even if I found all dependencies manually.

Is there any way to fix this to make Citrix work on Ubuntu 20.04? I've spent 3 days setting up my system and I don't even want to think of getting back on 18.04...

I am on ubuntu 20.04 and the client installed deb worked fine
https://www.citrix.com/downloads/workspace-app/linux/workspace-app-for-linux-latest.html

debian -> full packages -> Citrix Workspace app for Linux (x86_64)

sudo dpkg -i ./icaclient_20.9.0.15_amd64.deb  # supply full path to reach this file ... here I use relative path using ./xxx else give /full/path/to/icaclient_20.9.0.15_amd64.deb

You may get an interactive prompt saying :

Configuring icaclient
Do you want to install the app protection component ?

use up/down arrow keys to move selection ... pick no then hit tab key so cursor is overtop Ok then hit enter

once installed to launch search for citrix in the ubuntu dash ( tap WIN key and enter citrix then choose Citrix Workspace) ... it launched OK

I did not need to install any dependancies however this blog shows some other steps I did not need to do https://tech.xenit.se/how-to-install-citrix-workspace-on-ubuntu/
