[Bug 1358770] Re: ubuntu utopic: missing dependency to libvncclient.so.0

[ConceptRat]

The issue with Trusty for me was that I was using a PPA repo mc3man
/trusty-media [https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/trusty-
media] to get ffmpeg and related libraries, applications.  This repo for
some reason had "libvncserver0" in there at version
"0.9.9+dfsg-6~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1".  It's not in there now though???

To fix this I downloaded the last version for Trusty to include
"libvncclient0" which is "libvncserver0_0.9.9+dfsg-1ubuntu1.3" and
installed that directly over the offending one.

Elaborating on what's going on from what I've found (for those who are
interested)...

>From scouting round the net I've found that at version "0.9.9+dfsg-
5ubuntu1" the "libvncclient0" library was split out to it's own separate
package, in this case "libvncclient0_0.9.9+dfsg-5ubuntu1".  Found at
first search hit
[https://mirror.fccn.pt/repos/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/libv/libvncserver/].
You can see this looking at the "dsc" files "libvncserver_0.9.9+dfsg-
1ubuntu1.3.dsc" and "libvncserver_0.9.9+dfsg-5ubuntu1.dsc".  Although
I'll note that strangely there's no package called "libvncclient0_0.9.9
+dfsg-5ubuntu1_amd64.deb" in that repo I've indicated above.  Not
entirely sure why.  There's some definite weirdness going on between
these versions when you compare the file structure of the built DEBs and
the dev DEBS.

I feel that perhaps Trusty was botched a bit at the 14.01.1 release on.
Indecisions on how to package things perhaps?
