As explained in the message starting this thread, you will need (the courage;-)) to download and open one of the two .deb packages currently called "Receiver for Linux (12.1 Release Date: 4/23/2012) x86 client - requires OpenMotif v.2.3.1" from http://www.citrix.com/English/ss/downloads/details.asp?downloadId=2323812&productId=1689163 - there are entries for an x86 (32-bit, third from the top there at the time of writing), and a 64-bit version further down the page.

Though Canonical praised Ubuntu 12.04 LTS at such surprising length as a greatly enhanced virtualization client, the
installation procedure for the Citrix Receiver / ICAClient seems to offer no substantial difference from 10.04 LTS, let alone improvement over the former (on which it actually appears slightly more responsive on my small sample of machines available for testing), in either case coming from an external site to which not even a deeplink is offered from the default repositories, and which has to be let loose on the system as if presumably closed-source, binary-only third-party code was unfailing, while prompting to "agree" to an unreadable EULA.
