Similar to  FS#65039 

According to the man page xvfb-run should accept -f or --auth-file but the latter doesn't work

This works:
$ xvfb-run -f /tmp/file /bin/true

This doesn't:
$ xvfb-run --auth-file /tmp/file /bin/true
xvfb-run: unrecognized option '--auth-file'

Package version: 21.1.3-2

As in the linked similar bug, the fix is simple
