Yeah, this happens when you mix stable and cooker. You take your chances. Look at the version numbers: 3.6.1p2-4mdk 3.6.1p2-1.1.90mdk Which one is higher? The one you have installed of course. You'll have to uninstall the old openssh to upgrade to the new one. Or wait for a cooker package. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ Online Security Resource Book; http://linsec.ca/ "lynx -source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
