Comment 6 for bug 1439478

POSSIBLE WORKAROUND:

Ok, I was reading the README in the new source code. I got to the line were it says: install dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get install cmake intltool libgtk-3-dev libssh-dev libavahi-ui-gtk3-dev libvte-2.90-dev libxkbfile-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
cmake is already the newest version.

Suggested packages:
  autoconf2.13 autoconf-archive gnu-standards autoconf-doc libtool
  libgtk-3-doc libssh-doc
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  autoconf automake autotools-dev intltool libatk-bridge2.0-dev
  libavahi-client-dev libavahi-common-dev libavahi-glib-dev libavahi-ui-gtk3-0
  libavahi-ui-gtk3-dev libdbus-1-dev libgtk-3-dev libssh-dev libssl-dev
  libssl-doc libvte-2.90-dev libvte-2.90-doc libwayland-dev libxkbcommon-dev
  libxkbfile-dev

Once I installed that, I tested the old version I am currently using, Remmina 0.9.99.1 runs, (as it did) but copy paste functionality has resumed!

The source for version 1 still failed to compile, that's a bummer, but as long as i can copy and paste in a relatively new version, I'm ok with this solution. Try it if you like. I'll look into compiling the new version later.

At this point, the bug would seem to be a dependency issue. perhaps there are log files that will give more information about this.
