Xrdp: Unable to install on Centos 7.4

[MoonMoon1919]

I'm unable to install xrdp 0.9.6-1 on Centos 7.4.

Log output:

STDERR: Error: Package: xorgxrdp-0.2.6-2.el7.x86_64 (epel)
               Requires: xorg-x11-server-Xorg(x86-64) = 1.19.5
               Installed: xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.19.3-11.el7_4.2.x86_64 (@updates)
                   xorg-x11-server-Xorg(x86-64) = 1.19.3-11.el7_4.2
               Available: xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.19.3-11.el7.x86_64 (base)
                   xorg-x11-server-Xorg(x86-64) = 1.19.3-11.el7
               Available: xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.19.3-11.el7_4.1.x86_64 (updates)
                   xorg-x11-server-Xorg(x86-64) = 1.19.3-11.el7_4.1

Thus far I am unable to find xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.19.5 for Centos in any package repos. From what I can tell, xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.19.3-11.el7_4.2.x86_64 is the newest available via Centos Updates.

Any recommendation?

I reproduced the same thing. It looks to be fixed upstream in RHEL

@tastle73 Any idea on when that might trickle down to being available to CentOS distros?

Until the newer xorg-x11-server-Xorg is available in CentOS, you may be able to get around this by manually installing one of the older builds of xorgxrdp.

You can find the builds of xorgxrdp at https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/xorgxrdp/builds. Based on the output above, xorgxrdp-0.2.6-1.el7 is the build you'll want. (It's also the one installed on my systems.)

Here's what I mean by "manually" install:

wget https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/xorgxrdp/0.2.6/1.el7/x86_64/xorgxrdp-0.2.6-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
yum install xorgxrdp-0.2.6-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

@evanlinde This worked out very nicely, thanks for saving the day!

You all should report this issue to EPEL or CentOS, not us.
