Package: tightvnc-java Version: 1.2.7-8 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, The syntax for the VNC viewer is this: $ vncviewer host:port but for some reason the port number is given relative to the standard VNC port 5900, but this is noted nowhere in either the manpage or when executing the program with the --help parameter. So, when you happily try to connect to an alternative port such as 5901, you actually end up connecting to 5900+5901=11801. Pardon my french, but this is completely retarded. No other program I know of takes the port number as something relative. Expected behaviour is this: vncviewer localhost:5901 localhost 5901
but now you get this: vncviewer localhost:5901 localhost 11801 The fact that vncviewer completely lacks built-in documentation only makes this worse. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash tightvnc-java depends on no packages. tightvnc-java recommends no packages.
