Current64 - VirtualBox 6.0.8 - rdesktop failure


Yesterday's update for rdesktop to 1.8.6 did not resolve a problem I already saw with 1.8.5. I am not sure when this problem started.

Code:
root@riposo:~/works# ls -l /var/log/packages/rdesktop*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2539 May 24 11:56 /var/log/packages/rdesktop-1.8.6-x86_64-1
root@riposo:~/works# rdesktop -v
rdesktop: invalid option -- 'v'
rdesktop: A Remote Desktop Protocol client.
Version 1.8.6. Copyright (C) 1999-2011 Matthew Chapman et al.
See http://www.rdesktop.org/ for more information.
.....
root@riposo:~/works# rdesktop localhost:3399
Failed to negotiate protocol, retrying with plain RDP.

To test Slackware's rdesktop 1.8.3 I tried to access http://slackmirror.cbpf.br/pub/slackware/, but that site seems to be down.
Luckily 14.2's rdesktop 1.8.3 works and shows no problem!
Pinning 1.8.3 for the time being ...


VirtualBox provides rdesktop-vrdp, which is a modified 1.8.4: OK too!

I am not sure this is the same problem as mine: for as far as I can see the messages are different.

My only use case is accessing VirtualBox VMs when not using VNC, so I can use the VB-supplied rdesktop-vrdp.
I used rdesktop to access Windows instances once in a while, but with Win10 things seem to have changed. Adding researching this to my todo list ...

For those who still want to use rdesktop, you can check if there is a "rdesktop-vrdp" binary installed, and if there is you can use it instead. It says that it is "Modified for VirtualBox", and for me it worked.

rdesktop-vrdp is installed with the Oracle version of Virtualbox (see my May 25, 2019 post) -- I could not find it in the Ubuntu version.
