Downgrading Citrix Client (AUR)

MartzMechanical · 2024-08-22 08:17:09

Hello,

My workplace only supports a specific server version of Citrix.
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … f4bc366bd9

I updated a while ago and cleared my cache without knowing the workplace upgraded the server version.
Consequently I cant easily downgrade the AUR package.

Normally I would happily read through all the documentation but because this is for my workplace I dont have the time.
As a workaround I've run Citrix as a debian package in a VM as its easier to downgrade to previous versions.

Steps I have tried:
1. Downloaded the previous package from AUR (aur-009b0b2740695bd96f1fdad7c413abf4bc366bd9)
2. Attempted to build using makepkg -si
3. this failed because I didnt have the tar.gz file which I downloaded and run again.
4. This then did build but didn't install the application. i.e. no executable files in opt and no desktop file created.

I'll post my PKGBUILD file shortly. Is there a obvious way to downgrade this? I dont have the hard drive space to keep a cache.

Many Thanks MartzMechanical.

run makepkg -s --log
and post the contents of the logs it creates .

Note that they may be large , consider using a pastebin service .

It errored initially saying the package is already built when I used that command so I specified the -F command:

Don't redirect the output, --log creates several plain text files that are very complete .

run makepkg --geninteg so makepkg will generate the correct checksum for the file you downloaded.

MartzMechanical · 2024-08-22 09:39:14

I ran makepkg --geninteg but that still didnt work.

I re-ran the makepkg -s --log but I cant see any obvious logs where can I find them?

Lone_Wolf · 2024-08-22 10:03:15

They are stored in the directory you run makepkg from . If there aren't any that suggests the build doesn't reach the point where they are created .

I suspect the icaclient tar.gz you use is not publicly available for download ?

The integrity check of makepkg can be disabled by a cli parameter, check man makepkg .

Used makepkg -si --skipinteg but still not working.

If you were to do this, how would you go about it?
Perhaps there is a step I missed and re-downloading would work?

Citrix renamed the .tar.gz files on their websites for the earlier version. I downloaded it and renamed it back to the file the PKGBUILD file was expecting. Maybe thats the issue, same version though.

Lone_Wolf · 2024-08-22 10:31:11

It appears icaclient is publicly available at https://www.citrix.com/downloads/worksp … est10.html

looking into it now.

Added

Download and extract https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … bd9.tar.gz to ensure you have the right version of all files .

rename linuxx64-23.11.0.82.tar.gz to icaclient-x64-23.11.0.82.tar.gz

Don't make changes to the PKGBUILD .

building with makepkg gave "libfakeroot internal error: payload not recognized!" during compressing man & info pages .

Building in a clean chroot did not have this.

I will give that a go this evening and post back here - thankyou to everyone for your help.
I was fully expecting a RTFM post but I did a while ago and couldnt see anything obvious.

I might automate a local repo for the last version then backup and clean from local system going forwards.

Ok did all of that with:
makepkg -si --skipinteg

but issue remains

Lone_Wolf · 2024-08-22 11:08:56

Then probably something in your system interferes .

Use the link I posted in #11 to setup clean chroot building and try to build that way.

Aim was to try and get it working on my desktop machine so I can then set it up on a very old laptop which runs arch.
So I'll try using the steps you recommended there on my laptop later on this evening and see if that works.

Will know then if its something on my desktop.

I've used chroot before but not sure how it will affect the rest of my system.

Apart from taking up diskspace (under /var if you use devtools) and (while building) cpu/memory it shouldn't affect your system.

Once the package is succesfully built you can install it on any x86_64 machine.

MartzMechanical · 2024-08-24 12:49:07

it built successfully on the laptop thanks for everyone support and patience

If you're satisfied with the outcome, please prepend [Solved} to the thread title (edit first post) .
