The problem is known, it is buried in the way we currently build  
(compile) x2goagent and the libxcomp* (nx-libs) packages.

The NoMachine nx-X11 & co packages heavily depend on one another and  
thus a circular dependency ring has been created by NoMachine that's  
not trivial to break up into a Debian/Ubuntu conform package build  
mechanism. Reinhard Tartler is currently working on that with very  
high priority.

Please stay tuned, we are working on that.

BTW: yesterday's releases package do not fix the above issue, but  
bring more integrity into the other components of X2go.

Greets,
Mike

PS: If you use the plasma-widget-x2go tool for KDE4... This will  
probably be released with a follow-up version in 14 days and has been  
fixed and prepared yesterday to work with the latest x2goserver code.  
The packages are already available in the nightly-builds.
