Hello all,
since this is a packaging bug and not a bug in the code, I wasn't sure if a bug report should be filled. Instead, I use this mailing list.
We are using
deb http://packages.x2go.org/debian stretch main
as source to get updates for x2go under Debian 9.0 "Stretch". Since today, the dependencies are not correct in this repository:
The package nxagent was updated today to version 2:3.5.99.14-0+git20180302.2954+9.main.1 but this is incompatible with the package x2goagent (as of version 2:3.5.0.33-0x2go1+git20180204.776+9.main.1):
The following packages have unmet dependencies: x2goagent : Depends: nxagent (< 2:3.5.0.33-0x2go1+git20180204.776+9.main.1.1) E: Broken packages
In order to rule out a temporary dependency issue during upload of new packages, we waited for 6 hours. The problem still persists.
Kind regards
Dennis Grunert

You should have likely waited a bit longer.
If I remember correctly the new X2Go Server packages hit the repository a few hours later.
You cannot reproduce that now, is that correct?

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.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

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
