Please try updating to nxserver-freenx-0.7.2-r2, since that version should not conflict with nxclient.

You need to set USE=nxclient for net-misc/nxserver-freenx to allow parallel installation of both packages.

In fact, I've just enabled this flag by default (EAPI 1 ebuild) in nxserver-freenx-0.7.3-r3, and updated the USE flag description, as it was not clear that not setting it would prevent parallel installation of this package

Comment 3 Simon Gao 2009-01-23 17:16:44 UTC

Yes. When setting "USE=nxclient", both nxserver-freenx and nxclient can be installed. 

What about missing the USE setting in the first place when installing nxserver-freenx? That should not block nxclient from being installed later on.

It makes sense to set nxclient to be default for USE.

Thanks. This ticket can be closed.
