This happened because for long time vlock project was abandoned. ALTLinux and Fedora had same version of vlock. Some time ago, i merged altlinux's version. Later i merged patches from Fedora. This version is not a replacement for vlock-2... at least for now. Archlinux maintainer was wrong if he replaced vlock-2 by kbd-vlock. -- Rgrds, legion
