These, apart from the X2Go repositories, seem to be the default values in my
fresh VM (i.e., backport enabled).

So that's not it either.


Btw, to clear up some confusion here:

It's depending on a version greater or equal to 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu16.04.1 and
less than 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu16.04.1.1~ (the tilde in Debian packaging always
sorts before everything else, so any additional strings will make the version
higher.)

Anyway, the point here is the *additional* .1 at the end.

That's to make sure that version bumps, like 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu16.04.2 also
satisfy the dependency.

We're not really actively using that, but it's a pretty common versioning 
scheme.


Not explaining your error, though.

dpkg -l | grep -i x2go

from that machine please.
