I am trying to install Packet Tracer 7.3 (latest version) on Ubuntu 20.04 but do not succeed to so so because of two dependencies which are not installable ("libdouble-conversion1" and "qt-at-spi").
However I successfully installed the previous version (7.2.2) which was available in an Ubuntu installer format (.run file) but I nothing happens when I run it from my gnome desktop.
I am quite a newbie in Linux so I appologies if answers are obvious...
Thanks in advance ;-)

Had the same issue and fixed it this way:
After installing version 7.2.2 you'll have a /opt/pt folder (if default location was chosen)
In that folder there's a packettracer script that points to
/opt/pt/bin/PacketTracer7
Running that script I got this error:
./PacketTracer7
./PacketTracer7: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So I installed that library using this commands (taken from: https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/05/fix-libpng12-0-missing-in-ubuntu-1804.html)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/libpng12
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libpng12-0
The installation was succesfull and now Packet Tracer run OK.
Hope it helps
