be very nice to have. :-) 

I have tried compiling it but I don't remember exactly why it failed
(it requires X server sources). Might give it a try again.

Take a look at http://packages.debian.org/vnc4-common . Vnc4 is the
source package.

It does compile, but it segfaults. If it was indeed fixed in more recent
versions, as you pointed out, you can try it and then post a bug report
to let the Debian maintainer know.

vncserver is also badly broken on amd64 (bug #276948). Seems to be
fixed upstream so it is probably just a matter of packaging the latest

Packages for amd64 that are missing.

2005-05-17 Thread Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

Here is a list of packages that I think important and are either
not in the archive, or might require a patched versioned to be
uploaded to be useful.  I would like to see all of those fixed in Debian.

- syslinux: #249506: Required to build debian-installer, we have a
  patched version in the archive.
- linux86: #260647: Required to build lilo
- libtool1.4: #247299: Required to build various things,
  orphaned, gets removed after sarge release.
- ia32-libs: #269497: Required to build any ia32 app using libz.
- cdrdao: #249642 

Some others that might be useful:
- mtr: #254089
- nntp: #280278


Kurt
