For example, in rpm lingo, nxagent.rpm requires 
"libXcomp.so.3()(64bit)". Both nx.rpm as well as x2go's libXcomp3.rpm 
would provide it. Therefore, in the eyes of rpm, both were suitable for 
installation, and the two would compete.

This was fixed by adding a primitive set of versioned symbols to the 
libraries, such that nxagent.rpm requires "libXcomp.so.3(X2GO)(64bit)"
which only libXcomp3 can satisfy, not nx.
