Hi Thank you for this bug report. Do you have a proposed patch for this?
If not do you think it would be acceptable if we remove the mips architecture for this package. I planned to remove support for this package (and let people use tigervnc instead) but it turned out that there were corner cases when that did not work out well enough. This is why I added the package back and then this problem turned up.
