      Odd, the nightly build resolved that issue with 1.3 on all of the debian
machines.

      How did they build an x2go server that requires 3.5.99 libs on OpenSuse
then?  There is the server there in the repository but says no source for the
libs it needs.

      The libs?  Or the server?  The server is already in the nightly repo,
just not the libs it needs.  But they must be present somewhere or they
could not have built it.
