[X2go-Dev] Client-side printing not working (most likely due to the x2goserver-printing package being unavailable for installation)

The problem seems to be that even though "x2goserver 
3.0.99.8-0~x2go-bpo1+lenny~main~388~build1 X2go server daemon scripts" 
is installed, "apt-get install x2goserver" claims it's already the 
newest version, when "x2goserver 
3.0.99.8-0~x2go1+squeeze~main~373~build1 X2go server daemon scripts" is 
available.

"apt-get remove x2goserver x2goserver-extensions" followed by "apt-get 
install x2goserver x2goserver-extensions" installs the newer version.
After that, I am able to install "apt-get install x2goserver-printing".

So while the problem regarding package installation seems to be solved 
(still not sure if printing works, though), I'm still curious as to what 
caused it.
Any ideas?

Kind Regards,
Stefan
