Hi, I'm on Debian stretch with libss-4 v.0.8.0 installed from stretch-backports due to Remmina requirements. Installed x2goclient is v. 4.1.2.1, from you release builds repo. Now Remmina asks me to update but that would update libssh4 to v.0.8.1 (https://packages.debian.org/stretch-backports/libssh-4) that is unsupported by x2goclient. Would you consider updating it?
There is a similar problem for RPM-based distributions -- see Bug #1338 at https://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1338 for my report
and for my solution. This can probably be adapted to .deb-based distributions.
Thanks Miller for the answer.
"However, updating the dependency to a modern libssh requires changing not only the RPM spec file but also the x2goclient source code." That is something x2go devs will be forced to do sooner or later, if
distros don't distribute anymore that libssh version.
The reasons for this issue are two:
When mixing X2Go upstream DEBs for Debian stable with packages from
stretch-backports, you are on your own. Not recommended.X2Go Client's master branch has the required patch for libssh4 0.8.x
(and 0.8.0 was buggy in the first place). But a release of X2Go Client
has not happened for the last 4 months. It's overdue.
Your interim solution: use X2Go Client upstream DEBs from the heuler
repo hero (nightly builds). Same probably applies for the RPM builds
of X2Go Client.
Hope this helps, Mike
