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

[Mate Lampert]

Dear Users,

I also found some problems regarding upgrading to the new version. One 
of my package repositories (PPA) in Ubuntu 14.04 was unreachable and it 
caused the Thinlinc setup to fail. The solution was to remove that 
non-working repository from the related file.

However, it would be nice, if the tl-setup would not fail in this 
situation, but it would if one of the requires packages were 
unreachable. Furthermore, it would be nice to reach the setup log with 
one click instead of opening up the terminal, going to /var/log and 
looking into the setup log.  I have to note, that I was installing the 
script through X11 tunnel. In terminal hitting a button would also suffice.

Best regards,

Mate
