Ahhhhh, I see. I failed to see that there still exists a vnc-doc
package. I would call this a bug in the vncserver and [s|x]vncviewer
packages. They need to have versions on the conflicts. They need to
conflict with the older vnc-doc from 2.0 but now with the vnc-doc from
2.1. I will file a bug report. To install the slink vnc-doc use
--force-conflicts.
dpkg --force-conflicts -i vnc-doc*.deb
