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 :).
