x11vnc is a dependency of epoptes-client which is recommended by
epoptes. Recommends should get automatically installed when you install
epoptes and if they don't it's a bug of the distribution. I'm guessing
you are running Linux Mint.

According to https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html
"The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations."

Nevertheless, we may want to add some packages that are dependencies of
epoptes-client as dependencies of epoptes too in order to avoid problems
on distributions that fail to follow the Debian policy.

For now, people with this problem should either install epoptes with the
--install-recommends argument on apt, or just install epoptes-client
too.

  x11vnc is not installed and is not a dependency of epoptes

  after installing x11vnc ( sudo apt-get install x11vnc ) everything
  works fine
