Hello List!
perl-suid is the run-time dependency of x2goserver from the current Git.
I have spent some time searching for a package (or PKGBUILD script) for Arch Linux and have not succeeded.
Having also checked the current source code of Perl, I found the reason for it - the INSTALL file reads:
suidperl
suidperl was an optional component of earlier releases of perl. It is no longer available. Instead, use a tool specifically designed to handle changes in privileges, such as sudo.
(I am aware about the sudo vs suidperl discussion held in February this year on the mailing list.)
Is there any solution for those running the most recent perl (and for future in general)?
Regards, Milan

Hi,
I'm not familiar with the details, but you can try using the Debian or Ubuntu sources. They seem to be actively maintained.

Hello Moritz and others,

I appologise for not being clear enough: it is upstream, who decided to remove suidperl. I assume that the reason is a security concern.
http://www.cpan.org/src/README.html
It still existed as an optional component in perl 5.10.1, but does not exist anymore in versions 5.12.3 and 5.14.0.
In other words, x2goserver will not run on debian in future either. (Unless debian devs fork perl.)

Ubuntu Oneiric (current development release) already upgraded to perl 5.12 and perl-suid is now listed in the list of packages that aren't built from any source: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/nbs.html
It's to be expected that perl-suid will be removed from the archive in the next few days/weeks.

In this case I suggest the C-Wrapper as done by backuppc. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=581950#msg49 Some checks on the file to be executed should be run, though (ownership, permissions, etc). But that's shouldn't be too much a hassle and IMO still better then sudo.

this sounds like a good approach. Who is putting this on his todo
list? Can you, Morty?

Hi all,
I'm new on the list but use X2go already since some months and am happy with it :). Thank you guys for X2go!

Any news on this? I'm running X2go on a Debian Testing box as server and yesterday tried to update to the latest version in the Debian repository. I can't upgrade because the package "x2goserver" depends on "perl-suid" on Debian which doesn't exist anymore (in testing and unstable).
I see that most people use X2go servers with more stable distributions but still at some point the current Debian Testing will get stable as well :).

This is dealt with on trunk. Not sure whether it has been propagated to the stable-ppa (Should be fixed in the nightly, though).

I'll have a phone chat with Heinz in a minute, anyway. I will propose
marking the current x2goserver as so-to-say stable, increment the
version (Git tag) and push the package to the ,,main'' (that is
X2go-upstream-stable) area of our Debian repos and to the stable-ppa
on Launchpad (for Ubuntu).

I gave a try to x2goserver in GIT master few days ago (arch linux) and had troubles with some scripts not being in $PATH as described in the roadmap (http://wiki.x2go.org/roadmap). (I finally gave up due to problems with x2goagent being frozen on connection initiation.)
This should be resolved before marking the code "stable". (Might not be an issue for debian way of installation, but anybody using make install will have troubles.)

It's indeed already fixed in the nightlies, installed them successfully this morning. So, the fix just needs to be applied for the next release (if not happened already).
Thank you guys.
