I installed as per instructions in:

​http://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html?dist_select=raring

later I found it necessary to do:

  sudo apt-get install x264

therefore, maybe x264 should become a dependency?

I'm using Ubuntu 13 LTS.

On the page ​http://winswitch.org/dev/, the link "Download the latest source" lists "(version 0.12.16 released 2013-11-05)" while the href points to winswitch-0.12.20.src.tar.bz2

There is a file conflict between netifaces and python-netifaces packages in the winswitch repo for Fedora 20:

file /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/netifaces.so from install of python-netifaces-0.10.4-1.fc20.x86_64 conflicts with file from package netifaces-0.10.4-1.fc20.x86_64

Both of netifaces-0.10.4-1.fc20.x86_64 and python-netifaces-0.10.4-1.fc20.x86_64 are in the winswitch repo, conflicting with each other.

It looks like the xpra package used to depend on netifaces but it depends on python-netifaces now, but python-netifaces is not coinstallable with netifaces.

My guess would be that the python-netifaces is missing Obsoletes: netifaces.
