Subject: Mint 20.3 Update fails for latest release 4.1.0.4-0~1975~ubuntu20.04.1 - kdrive requirement xserver-x2go is missing

Date: Wed, 31 May 2023 10:42:31 -0700 (PDT)

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: x2goserver 
Version: 4.1.0.4 

The update failed for mint 20.3 as x2goserver-x2gokdrive requires xserver-x2gokdrive which is not available in mint 20.3 and not available from the x2go repository. 

It screwed up my system pretty good! had to do a clean install of 4.1.0.3 to get up and running again. 

I have been using x2go for years, love it! 

And also some documentation file was moved in 4.1.0.3 to a different file in 4.1.0.4 and the 
upgrade complains about that before even reporting the kdrive issue on an attempt to do a fresh install of 4.1.0.4.

Subject: new stable release is broken

Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2023 15:18:21 +0200 (CEST)

Hello x2go maintainers,

these days the package management system offered me to upgrade the x2go 
packages. This due to upgraded packages becoming available in the stable 
repo:

  Origin: X2Go stable (main) PPA:20.04/focal [amd64]

  # cat ppa_x2go_stable_focal.list
  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/x2go/stable/ubuntu focal main

The problem is that the release is broken, contains uninstallable packages 
and thus an upgrade will deinstall stuff that is required:

```
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer 
required:
  libcapture-tiny-perl libconfig-simple-perl libdbd-pg-perl
  libdbd-sqlite3-perl libdbi-perl libfile-basedir-perl
  libipc-system-simple-perl libnx-x11-6 libswitch-perl libtry-tiny-perl

Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libx2go-config-perl libx2go-utils-perl x2godesktopsharing x2goserver
  x2goserver-printing x2goserver-xsession

  Description: X2Go Server's X2Go KDrive Xserver
    X2Go is a software suite that uses NX and/or KDrive technology for remote desktop computing.

    X2Go KDrive technology implements a remote X11 Xserver backend for
    modern desktop environments, namely desktops derived from the GNOME
    desktop shell.

    X2Go KDrive does not require an XServer on the client side, only the
    X11-independent x2gokdriveclient. Desktop session data transfers from
    server to client use differential image compression and image data
    gets cached client-side.

```

That is: x2goserver depends on x2goserver-x2gokdrive which depends on 
xserver-x2gokdrive which is not available.

See the following two posts for the situation:

in short the xserver-x2gokdrive doesn't exist yet but it seems that it is 
being worked on
