Dear maintainer,

I see that the package xrdp (version 0.10.1-3.1) suggests guacamole
which is not in unstable.

This can be seen in https://packages.debian.org/unstable/xrdp . Search
for "Package not available".

The missing package used to be in Debian but they were removed some time
ago:

- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/guacamole

Should it be dropped or changed?
I see that guacamole was HTML5 web app for accessing remote desktops
(https://tracker.debian.org/news/341045/accepted-guacamole-040-1-source-all/).
Perhaps there is something else for that?

Thank you,

Guacamole could be reintroduced into Debian if someone either did the work or pledged to financially sponsor the work.

Hi,
Debian: would it make sense to suggest other xrdp clients? Would
rdesktop, freerdp3-sdl, freerdp3-x11, freerdp3-wayland,
krdc help users? Or it needs to be an HTML5 client?

Thank you,

It doesn't make sense to suggest native clients on the **server**. All clients named by you are installed as a package directly on any client machine; Guacamole is delivered as a web app from the server.
