[X2go-Dev] new x2goserver package breakage

[Reinhard Tartler]

It seems to me that

The current x2goserver package seems broken to me:

root at sandy:~# dpkg -i x2goserver_3.0.99.5-0~184~natty1_amd64.deb 
Selecting previously deselected package x2goserver.

I guess this is because the x2gosqlitewrapper has moved:

root at sandy:~# dpkg-deb -c x2goserver_3.0.99.5-0~184~natty1_amd64.deb | grep sqlitewrapper
-rwxr-xr-x root/root      6168 2011-07-31 04:02 ./usr/lib/x2go/x2gosqlitewrapper
-rwxr-xr-x root/root     10579 2011-07-31 03:57 ./usr/lib/x2go/x2gosqlitewrapper.pl

Interestingly, the permissions seem to be correct:

root at sandy:~# ls -l /usr/lib/x2go/x2gosqlitewrapper
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root x2gouser 6168 Jul 31 04:02 /usr/lib/x2go/x2gosqlitewrapper

The above messages may seem rather cosmetic. Still, the warning message
above seem to indicate that something that was actually intended didn't
work. Moreover, purging and reinstalling the package leaves
dpkg-statoverride's database in a pretty unusable state:

root at sandy:~# dpkg -i x2goserver_3.0.99.5-0~184~natty1_amd64.deb 
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
syntax error: unknown group 'x2gouser' in statoverride file

Even a simple `dpkg-statoverride --list` fails now:

This has impact on any package that uses dpkg-statoverride.
