Cisco Packet Tracer

I've recently been thinking about reinstalling my OS. Get a fresh start. So I've been going through everything making sure everything is backed up, and making a list of all the programs I'm going to want/need to reinstall once I do start over. I remembered that I have packet tracer, and that since it's proprietary software I had to go through a slight bit of trouble to get it installed and working. I was able to download the PacketTracer533_Generic_Fedora.tar.gz package that you need. This was the difficult package to get. Then in order to get it installed you also need the packettracer.tar.gz package in the AUR.

It's been flagged out of date. Now I can't install Packettracer if I reinstall. Is there a known workaround for this?

It's in the AUR and is currently without a maintainer. You could take it over yourself and update it. Or ask in the AUR Issues, Discussion & PKGBUILD Requests sub forum.

I've never done anything like that before. I wouldn't know how to do that. When I run makepkg it says it's missing gcc-multilibs, which if I recall is no longer available.

Have you got the multilib repo enabled? gcc-multilib is alive and well!

That's what happens when I try to install gcc-multilib from the AUR.

EDIT: But yes, I do have the multilib repo enabled. I've never actually had to edit a PKGBUILD before, I'm assuming that's something I might have to do to get his to work.

Ehmm... gcc-multilib is in the multilib repo - stating the obvious there, but in a good cause, I hope. There is no AUR package called gcc-multilib.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=gcc-multilib - AUR

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/mult … -multilib/ - Packages

Either way neither of them want to install.

How does one go about learning how to do this? I've never taken control of a package and updated it before, and wouldn't have the slightest clue where to begin.
