Dear all, I'd like to post the following news item within the hour.
======== Title: sshd needs restarting after upgrading to openssh-8.2p1 Conent: After upgrading to openssh-8.2p1, the existing SSH daemon will be unable to accept new connections. When upgrading remote hosts, please make sure to restart the SSH daemon using `systemctl restart sshd` right after `pacman -Syu`. ======== I deeply regret not spotting this while the package was in [testing]. And I also regret not being able to diagnose what the exact problem is just now. Given time is of the essence, I propose posting the above news quickly even I don't consider it a very satisfying solution... Cheers. -- Gaetan
