Package: vnc4server Version: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-7 Severity: grave Tags: patch Justification: renders package unusable

The attached patch fixes this behaviour. sample output: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bin$ /usr/bin/vnc4server -httpport 5808 -geometry 800x1400 -depth 32 :8 You will require a password to access your desktops. usage: vncpasswd [passwdFile] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bin$ Thanks, Taco. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16.8-1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages vnc4server depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.0-1+b1 GCC support library ii libice6 1:1.0.0-3 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libsm6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.1.0-1+b1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-6 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxtst6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Testing -- Resource extension ii vnc-common 3.3.7-11 Virtual network computing server s ii x11-common 1:7.0.14 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc ii xbase-clients 1:7.0.0-4 miscellaneous X clients ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - runtime Versions of packages vnc4server recommends: ii xfonts-base 1:1.0.0-3 standard fonts for X -- no debconf information
