This is a bit extreme, but I got an older Citrix client to work on
Breezy (it requires about 400MB of disk space) :
NOTE - I needed an older client because version 9 of the client is not
compatible with the older Citrix Server that my company runs.
Because of the libXaw6 issue mentioned in this thread, libXaw8 must be
used, but it is not compatible with Breezy (strictly speaking).
So, in order to keep from corrupting my system, I set up a chroot
environment by following these instructions :
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot?highlight=%28chroot%29
(I would STRONGLY suggest setting your password(s) to something
different in the chroot environment than in your "real" environment)
I then installed citrix in that environment :
googled, found, and downloaded Citrix client version 7 from here
(couldn't find 8 in English) : http://tinyurl.com/awqps
downloaded libXaw8 from here :
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/libxaw8
(you'll need to download those or copy them to a place that the chroot
environment can see it)
chroot to the new environment :
$ dchroot -c mychroot -d
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, YOU WILL REMAIN IN THE CHROOT
ENVIRONMENT :
sudo apt-get install libxpm4
sudo dpkg --install libxaw8_6.8.2.dfsg.1-10_i386.deb
sudo apt-get install xfree86-common xrgb
(I did some other installs as I was trying to get it to work initially,
but I don't think they were actually required)
Now, just install citrix : gunzip the .gz file, tar -xvf the .tar file,
run wfcmgr and follow the instructions.
