Hello Mihai,

You cannot reproduce that now, is that correct?

We have upgraded all computers manually after some hints from the IRC channel. So there are no computers left in this non-updated state to test.

If I remember correctly the new X2Go Server packages hit the repository a few
hours later.

This hasn't helped. The problem still persisted after 6 days. Here the log from the IRC (have I talked with you?):

dgrunert

   Hello all! Over one week ago, I sent a message to the x2go-dev mailing list about broken dependencies in the x2go repository http://packages. So far, the message has not been moderated and the broken dependencies are still there. Therefore, I will now try this IRC channel.

dgrunert

   We are using

dgrunert

   deb http://packages. stretch main

dgrunert

   as source to get updates for x2go under Debian 9.0 "Stretch". Since today, the dependencies are not correct in this repository:

dgrunert

   The package nxagent was updated today to version 2:3.5.99.14-0+git201

dgrunert

   The following packages have unmet dependencies:

dgrunert

   x2goagent : Depends: nxagent (
dgrunert

   E: Broken packages

Ionic

   dgrunert: this is absolutely right correct - not broken

Ionic

   dgrunert: please run dist-upgrade, which should pull in x2goserver-x2goagent

dgrunert

   Ionic: Thank you for the fast response. We are usually not using dist-upgrade for the possibility of unwanted package removal. In this case, it is not possible due to some messed up dependencies of nvidia drivers.

dgrunert

   Ionic: But a simple apt-get install x2goserver-x2goagent

Ionic

   dgrunert: uh, that's bad

Ionic

   we actually deprecated x2goagent and replaced the package with x2goserver-x2goagent,

Ionic

   it shouldn't cause any harm leaving them around

Ionic

   hmmm

Ionic

   actually

Ionic

   you should be able to apt-get autoremove to get rid of those now

dgrunert

   I think the install command already took care about the deprecated packages:

dgrunert

   The following packages will be REMOVED:

dgrunert

   libnx-xcomposite1 libnx-xdamage1 libnx-xdmcp6 libnx-xext6 libnx-xfixes3 libnx-xinerama1 libnx-xpm4 libnx-xrandr2 libnx-xrender1 libnx-xtst6 libxcompext3 x2goagent

dgrunert

   The following NEW packages will be installed:

dgrunert

   libswitch-perl libtry-tiny-perl libx2go-log-perl libx2go-server-db-

dgrunert

   The following packages will be upgraded:

dgrunert

   libnx-x11-6 libxcompshad3 nx-x11-common nxagent x2goserver x2goserver-extension

Ionic

   oh it really did

Ionic

   okay then

dgrunert

   Okay, then the issue is resolved. Thanks a lot!

Ionic

   maybe I should have kept x2goagent around as a dummy package... hmmm

Ionic

   well, too late for that now

This just as a reference if others still have the problem. For us, the problem is solved. But I wasn't able to withdraw this email to the mailing list since the link is only valid for 3 days and the problem was solved after 6 days.

Best regards
