nsgclient18_64.deb is cannot be installed! Does an Netscaler VPN plugin exist for Ubuntu 19.X?

[Alec Bickerton]

, I have so far only found the download from this link.

nsgclient18_64.deb is cannot be installed!

 

When I attempt to install the package, it fails due to missing dependencies.

As mentioned above, that doesn't help as the dependencies are not available in Ubuntu 19.10 and up.

Same here on 20.04, will this be fixed?

[Alessandro Cappelli]

Here is what I did to make it work on Ubuntu 20.04:

• checked with GDebi which dependencies are needed by nsginstaller64.deb
• looked for those libraries on packages.ubuntu.com
• checked with GDebi if they needed other libraries
• got stuck on libcurl3 which was in conflict with libcurl4
• tried to install it anyway
• got libcurl4 and transmission (bit torrent utility) removed during installation of libcurl3
• got nsgclient to work again!

the libraries I manually added are

libnm-util2
libnm-glib4
libssl.so.1.0.0
libcurl3

Hope this helps others!

Cheers!
