Description Emrion 2020-12-18 19:16:11 UTC 
My system is: 12.1-RELEASE-p12

I've just upgraded all the packages (via pkg) and since, x11vnc can't listen in ipv4 mode.

-----
$ x11vnc -display :0 -no6 -passwdfile /home/myuser/mypasswdfile
(...)

18/12/2020 20:06:46 Error: could not obtain listening port.
18/12/2020 20:06:46 If this system is IPv6-only, use the -6 option.6 option.
-----

It's the same error for root. x11vnc can listen in ipv6, but my private network is ipv4 only.

I suspect the upgrade of libvncserver as x11vnc relies on it.

After investigations, it appears that, despite my "pkg upgrade" command, both libvncserver and x11vnc weren't at the latest version (unless someone has corrected the problem during the European night).

libvncserver-0.9.13 and x11vnc-0.9.16_1 generate the problem I mentioned.
libvncserver-0.9.13_1 and x11vnc-0.9.16_2 work perfectly.

This bug has to be closed.
