Package: x2goserver Version: x2goserver-extensions-4.0.1.19-0.0x2go2.1.git20150608.1064.main.el7.centos.x86_64
Hi,
After installing a "minimal install" RHEL 7.1 system, I installed:
$ rpm -qa | grep x2goserver x2goserver-extensions-4.0.1.19-0.0x2go2.1.git20150608.1064.main.el7.centos.x86_64 x2goserver-xsession-4.0.1.19-0.0x2go2.1.git20150608.1064.main.el7.centos.x86_64 x2goserver-4.0.1.19-0.0x2go2.1.git20150608.1064.main.el7.centos.x86_64
Only to find that arrow keys, cursor keys were not working. When I tried x2goserver, it complained about not find the base rule. With a bit of strace'ing, I found the missing file was /*usr*/*share*/*X11*/*xkb*/*rules*/ *base*.*lst*.
The fix was to install xkeyboard-config-2.9-4.el7.noarch, so this looks like a missing dependency. Please consider adding this to the RedHat packages.
Thanks for x2go!

Thanks for debugging this!
Depending on xkeyboard-config (RPM) and xkb-data (deb) sounds reasonable.

Hi Mihai,
Perhaps we should Mimic Orion's Fedora/EPEL packaging instead?
He has nxagent depend on xkeyboard-config http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/nx-libs.git/tree/nx-libs.spec

Yeah, and here we come to the fabulous decision of what package should actually sanely depend on what other package.
Currently, we do not depend on X11 packages in nx-libs (but a select amount of -dev packages on Debian as build requirements.)
Contrary to that, x2goserver already does depend on X11 packages.
Where does depending on xkeyboard-config make most sense? nxagent itself doesn't really depend on it - it's working "fine" without that package, maybe with limitations as presented in this bug report.
Luckily, xkeyboard-config (or xkb-data) has no dependencies, so it doesn't add any other cruft.
Still, I think (and have also thought about that yesterday) that it's more appropriate to depend on it in x2goserver instead of nxagent.

Because RPM (prior to 4.12) lacks weak dependencies, that makes sense.
But for dpkg, I recommend adding it to either "recommends" or "suggests" for nxagent, and adding it to "depends" for x2goserver.
