Nigra,<br>
<br>
this sounds like a really, really messy apt dependency problem. Im not sure that this question is in scope for the x2golist,<br>
as many of us use x2go server on Debian 8 Jessie without any issues<br>
<br>
Can you back up your server config files (/etc, /var) and do a fresh install of debian 8 ?<br>
That is probably going to be the safest thing to do for the long run.<br>
<br>
That said, if you really want to try to untangle this huge ball of twine, you could try "apt-get install aptitude" and then use<br>
"aptitude install x2goserver" to see if aptitude will tell you more information about the problem and the dependencies.<br>
<br>
you can also "apt-get install apt-show-versions" a tool I find helpful... then<br>
<br>
apt-show-versions | grep x2go<br>
apt-show-versions | grep nx<br>
<br>
this might be interesting to look at & give you more info on where to start.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
<br>
I just upgraded a server to Debian 8 and had X2goserver running on it before, but purged all the config and everything, because some things were not working properly, now I can't install it anymore, it refuses with these errors:<br>
