xfreerdp on Vivid Vervet

xfreerdp does not work anymore on Vivid Vervet, mainly because they upgraded xfreerdp to version 1.1.0-beta1.
Here are the errors I get:
WARNING: Using deprecated command-line interface!
-a 24 -> /bpp:24
-T windows-server-01 -> /title:windows-server-01
-g 1920x1080 -> /size:1920x1080 or /w:1920 /h:1080
-z -> /compression
(null) -> /v:(null)
error: server hostname was not specified with /v:<server>[:port]</server>
Today I upgraded to mint 18 and I have the same problem.
To fix my problem I edited /opt/pac/lib/pac_conn I updated lines 938 & 939.
From
$connection_cmd = "$METHOD $CONNECT_OPTS" . ( $MANUAL ? '' : " -u $USER" ) . " $IP:$PORT -T \"$TITLE\"";
$connection_txt = "$METHOD $CONNECT_OPTS" . ( $MANUAL ? '' : " -u $USER" ) . " $IP:$PORT -T \"$TITLE\"";
To
$connection_cmd = "$METHOD $CONNECT_OPTS" . ( $MANUAL ? '' : " -u $USER" ) . " -T \"$TITLE\" $IP:$PORT";
$connection_txt = "$METHOD $CONNECT_OPTS" . ( $MANUAL ? '' : " -u $USER" ) . " -T \"$TITLE\" $IP:$PORT";
So I move the $IP:$PORT. After that xfreerdp works again with the depecated cli.
