Krdc needs freerdp3 now.
The dependency seems correctly listed in your distro package:
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/krdc/
since it was changed fore the new version:

freerdp2 Seems to be a mandatory dependency of krdp. Shoud that be changed?

Comment 3 Fabio 2025-04-28 12:30:47 UTC

krdp is a completely different package.
It will drop freerdp2 and adopt freerdp3 in version 6.4, that will be released next june.

Comment 4 Antti Savolainen 2025-04-28 12:47:01 UTC

Alright thanks. That should improve the KRDC experience by making `freerdp` be installed automatically. I've been struggling to get an RDP connection to work using only graphical tools.
