Xephyr nested server missing

March 16, 2022 — BarryK

Last night I built EasyOS 3.4.2 and uploaded it ...woke up this morning and decided to test it a bit more before announcing. Aaaargh! ...the Dunfell desktop in a container doesn't work!

I discovered that the Xephyr server is missing. In March, I did a complete recompile in OE, bumping 'xserver-xorg' from 1.20.8 to 21.1.3:

Somehow, it didn't compile Xephyr.

But is gets worse. I discovered that even if it had been compiled, it wouldn't have worked:

Immediately removed the uploaded 3.4.2. Next thing, back to OE and find out where things have gone wrong.
