Package: vnc4server
Version: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-20
Severity: important
Tags: patch
When trying to start vnc4server when my ~/.vnc/ directory is a
symbolic link, I get the following message:
vnc4server: Wrong type or access mode of /home/jussi/.vnc.
This is due using lstat() function in vnc4server starting script to
check if file is a directory instead of stat(). Following patch fixes
it.
