Bug#400108: vino: password check broken?

[Holger Leskien]

Package: vino
Version: 2.16.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

at some point in the last weeks vino stopped working on my computer.
First I thought it might be a wrong password issue, but now I checked
more thoroughly. This is what the vino-server prints out:

23/11/2006 22:13:41 Autoprobing TCP port
23/11/2006 22:13:41 Autoprobing selected port 5900

** (vino-server:32624): WARNING **: Failed to base64 unencode VNC password

Client is "VNC Viewer Free Edition" 4.1.1 and didn't change. Is there a
dependency to a package missing which I might have deleted? Or is it
about this one?
