Hello everyone,
I’ve been trying to install Forticlient VPN on my Ubuntu 24.04 LTS machine for a while now but here’s the problem:
$ sudo dpkg -i forticlient_vpn_7.4.0.1636_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package forticlient.
(Reading database ... 163463 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack forticlient_vpn_7.4.0.1636_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking forticlient (7.4.0.1636) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of forticlient:
forticlient depends on libappindicator1 (>> 0) | libayatana-appindicator1 (>> 0); however:
Package libappindicator1 is not installed.
Package libayatana-appindicator1 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing package forticlient (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:
forticlient
However, when I try to resolve dependencies:
$ sudo apt install libappindicator1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package libappindicator1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libappindicator1' has no installation candidate
And
$ sudo apt install libayatana-appindicator1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package libayatana-appindicator1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

Is there a workaround for this as those packages are not present in Ubuntu 24.04 repos? Will Forticlient VPN be supported soon for Ubuntu 24.04?
Thanks!
