Unfortunately, nxagent>=2:3.5.99.3~ isn't available in Ubuntu [3] or
ppa:x2go/ppa [4] which leads to an unsatisfiable dependency:

These packages should have been built almost a week ago.

We hit this bug, though, and the new code was never synced up within launchpad:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bzr-git/+bug/1084403


I haven't checked this, assuming that everything would work fine, since Arctica
already had packages for Ubuntu that completed the build process successfully.

A mistake, as it turns out.


I've switched the recipe to build off a native git clone which doesn't have that
problem.


The packages should finally be available soonish™.
