So you can use x2goserver 4.1 with nx-libs < 3.5.99?

I don't see why you don't just do in x2goserver:

Requires: x2gogent >= 4.1

%package -n x2goagent
...

and then you don't need the following, but otherwise:

The version should be higher than the last one from nx-libs.  Not sure exactly
what that is, perhaps "3.6.0-1".  But yes, you need a version.
