Is it possible that installing a new version of the .pkg file fails if the /Application is already installed? I downloaded the .pkg, installed it, got the same result. I downloaded the .dmg, copied it over, and all is fine.

Feel free to subscribe to that ticket. Will do! And thank you so much for maintaining xpra! It takes a bit of work to get going with it, but it's super-useful once things are up and running. BTW, I noticed the documentation doesn't mention that if you use the --sharing option that it will create a socket in /run/xpra if and only if you are a member of group xpra on the server. It might be useful to put that into the manual somewhere? Perry -- Perry E.
