Reopen. Current trusty doesn't have libvncclient.

I have this problem on trusty as well. It happened sometime in last two weeks because until then Remmina+VNC was working fine. Now Remmina cannot load plugin remmina-plugin-vnc.so because it cannot find libvncclient.so

I found that libvncclient was a part of libvncserver0. When I tried to install libvncserver0 , it was already installed on my PC. Following some forums, I tried to reinstall libvncserver0 and I got an error saying that "Reinstallation of libvncserver0 is not possible, it cannot be downloaded."

Removing and reinstalling libvncserver0 fixed this issue for me.

sudo apt-get remove libvncserver0
sudo apt-get install libvncserver0

Also for some reason "sudo apt-get install --reinstall libvncserver0" did not work for me because it said the package wasn't found. On removing libvncserver0 first, and then reloading the synaptic I realized that synaptic showed a slight version difference .

(now showed version libvncserver0_0.9.9+dfsg-1ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb instead of previously installed version libvncserver0_0.9.9+dfsg-6ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb ) .

The issue with Trusty for me was that I was using a PPA repo mc3man/trusty-media [https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/trusty-media] to get ffmpeg and related libraries, applications. This repo for some reason had "libvncserver0" in there at version "0.9.9+dfsg-6~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1". It's not in there now though???

To fix this I downloaded the last version for Trusty to include "libvncclient0" which is "libvncserver0_0.9.9+dfsg-1ubuntu1.3" and installed that directly over the offending one.

Elaborating on what's going on from what I've found (for those who are interested)...

From scouting round the net I've found that at version "0.9.9+dfsg-5ubuntu1" the "libvncclient0" library was split out to it's own separate package, in this case "libvncclient0_0.9.9+dfsg-5ubuntu1". Found at first search hit [https://mirror.fccn.pt/repos/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/libv/libvncserver/]. You can see this looking at the "dsc" files "libvncserver_0.9.9+dfsg-1ubuntu1.3.dsc" and "libvncserver_0.9.9+dfsg-5ubuntu1.dsc". Although I'll note that strangely there's no package called "libvncclient0_0.9.9+dfsg-5ubuntu1_amd64.deb" in that repo I've indicated above. Not entirely sure why. There's some definite weirdness going on between these versions when you compare the file structure of the built DEBs and the dev DEBS.

I feel that perhaps Trusty was botched a bit at the 14.01.1 release on. Indecisions on how to package things perhaps?
