Freenx depends on "obsolete" smbfs package?

[Richard Chapman]

I have been trying to install Freenx-server on a beaglebone black single board computer using these instructions:
As noted in an earlier bug report - there are missing components in the armhf architecture packages - so I have been trying to install from source packages.
Here I came across another problem.
freenx from the package: freenx_0.7.3.zgit.120322.977c28d-0~ppa11_all.deb
Depends on freenx-smb.
then:
freenx-smb from the package: freenx-smb_0.7.3.zgit.120322.977c28d-0~ppa11_armhf.deb
seems to depend on the smbfs package.
From what i understand - smbfs has been superseded by cifs-utils.

So should the dependencies in freenx-smb be fixed?

Thanks

Richard.

According to the freenx-smb package description the purpose of providing printer support. Note that freenx-smb is a dependency of "freenx" not "freenx-server", so I imagine that if you did not need printer support just install "freenx-server" and, optionally, "freenx-rdp" and "freenx-vnc". The "freenx-server" package was all that I thought was needed for freenx itself to function, as according to the tutorial on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX . I agree with you though that there's a dependency issue in freenx-smb where it should be updated to cifs-utils or whatever is appropriate.
