[Thinlinc-technical] Installing 4.6.0 server on Debian 8 Jessie - Debian bug and workaround

[Jens Maus]

Hi,

I also ran into the same issue yesterday, but with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I was, however, able to solve the problem by applying the same workaround the cenido documentation in mentioning for required adaptions after having installed 4.6.0. See „tl-setup on Debian 8 (jessie) here:

best regards,
jens
