TightVNC isn't part of the official repositories any more. You might want to try TigerVNC / package tigervnc which is a fork instead. X11vnc can afaik be used similarly but its main purpose is providing access to the X server running on hardware which is somewhat different from the mode of operation of Tight/TigerVNC.
