You're confusing nx-libs, which has a 3.5.x versioning scheme, with the
x2goserver versioning scheme.
x2goagent is part of nx-libs and 3.5.0.32 is the newest stable release I made.
Thank you very much for clarifying, I was clearly confused and your explanation helps a lot.
It appears though that our site does not automatically get updates from EPEL6 package. I'll clarify this with our admins.
