Broken official Forticlient VPN .deb package (7.0.7.0246)

Hi, I just downloaded the Forticlient VPN from the official downloads site (https://www.fortinet.com/support/product-downloads#vpn) but I could not install it because the package seems to be broken:

 

$ sudo dpkg -i forticlient_vpn_7.0.7.0246_amd64.deb

Why would this fail? If the package is actually broken, could you please upload a new one that actually works?

By the way, I use Ubuntu 23.04 and apt-get install /GUI package installer failed as well.

The site is updated with a new package file, size 129 MB (135,766,978 bytes). Can you test the new package.
