Aparently a dependency is missing in x2gocleansessions.

I know squesse is getting old but need it back running.
I thought baikal only got bug fixes and would not break??
If you can't fix this can I get a copy of the last version of x2goserver?
I have 2 servers that are broken and the other 3 I removed x2go from 
sources.list.

Anyhow love x2go but am concerned.

John

Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 09:54:10 -0500

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

I don't know if it's related to bug 429, but I have an upgrade issue with
x2goserver:

Preparing to replace x2goserver 4.0.1.13-0~814~ubuntu12.04.1 (using

The process hangs here.  I have to kill this process:

/var/lib/dpkg/info/x2goserver.postinst configure

to get the prompt back.  I then am stuck with broken packages:

I downloaded

and installing that package goes fine:

Subject: Dev packages for X2Go Server "sneaked" themselves into the Baikal LTS package archive

Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2014 20:34:59 +0000

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

Control: close -1

Hi all,

I have just stumbled over a very severe flaw in our X2Go package  
archive for Debian [1].

A development snapshot of X2Go Server (4.1.0.0-preview) got uploaded  
to the Baikal LTS area.

That is a very very severe problem to people who run the long-term  
supported version of X2Go Server.

I have just kicked of a rebuild of all X2Go Server packages of that  
archive and will provide an announcement and a troubleshooting /  
downgrading recipe tomorrow.

I deeply apologize for this very severe flaw and big thanks to John  
McMonagle for unravelling this.

Unfortunately, his message got ignored till now...

Regards,
Mike

Subject: Important information: Wrong version of X2Go Server in Baikal LTS Debian archive

Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2014 07:39:07 +0000

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

Dear all,

== Summary ==

we got informed by John McMonagle [1] about wrong package versions in  
the Debian archive of X2Go. Unfortunately, I only grasped the severity  
of that bug report a couple of days back.

In February 2014, a development snapshot of x2goserver* packages found  
their way into the Debian-based package archive of X2Go Baikal LTS [2].

This is of course a severe issue and after cross-checking last Monday,  
I reverted those uploads and provided the correct package versions  
(X2Go Server 4.0.0.11). No other area of the package archive was  
affected, only the Baikal LTS packages of X2Go Server for Debian.

== How to downgrade ==

Follow these steps for downgrading the development snapshot  
(4.1.0.0-preview) to the current Baikal LTS release of X2Go Server  
(4.0.0.11).

Open a terminal and run these commands...

  $ apt-get update
  $ apt-cache show x2goserver

  ### you should see two version of package x2goserver
  ### x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0x2go1~<something> (which is the currently  
installed version)
  ### and
  ### x2goserver 4.0.0.11-0x2go1+git20140615.736+<debversion>.baikal.1

  $ cp /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf.bak
  $ apt-get remove --purge x2goserver-common libx2go-server-perl  
libx2go-log-perl
  $ apt-get install x2goserver x2goserver-xsession  
x2goserver-printing x2goserver-fmbindings
  $ cp /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf.bak /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf

  ### You may want to view changes between the two config files...
  $ diff -ur /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf.bak /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf
  # and manually edit the one now installed as x2goserver.conf

I am very sorry that this happened, it should not have!!! If you need  
further help, please contact either me or any other of the devs via  
our mailing list x2go-user [3] or via IRC [4].

light+love,
Mike Gabriel
