I changed the dependencies in rdesktop 1.5 in this way: - download rdesktop_1.5.0-1_i386.deb from a debian mirror (now is also available in ubuntu feisty) - do the following on a terminal window: dpkg -x rdesktop_1.5.0-1_i386.deb rdesktop_1.5.0-1a_i386 dpkg -e rdesktop_1.5.0-1_i386.deb rdesktop_1.5.0-1a_i386/DEBIAN - then edit rdesktop_1.5.0-1a_i386/DEBIAN/control and change these lines:
Version: 1.5.0-1 to Version: 1.5.0-1a Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6), libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8c-1), libx11-6 to Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8), libx11-6 - rebuild the package with: dpkg -b rdesktop_1.5.0-1a_i386 - and finally install it with: sudo dpkg -i rdesktop_1.5.0-1a_i386.deb This is not a usual or recommended method of rebuilding packages (changing dependencies may be dangerous), but it's the faster one and worked for me in this particular case... -- Window dragging display corruption https://launchpad.net/bugs/44024 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
