Package: openssh-sftp-server
Version: 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Was switching from OpenSSH to Dropbear due to installing on an extremely limited
system with <1GB total disk space available at the time, but needed to retain
SFTP support which requires the openssh-sftp-server package.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Manually installed the openssh-sftp-server package.
dpkg --ignore-depends=openssh-client -P openssh-client
This purged the openssh-client contents while leaving openssh-sftp-server
intact,
allowing me to test functionality.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Dependencies installed openssh-client package as well.
SFTP still worked after purging openssh-client, and openssh-sftp-server only has
a single executable inside of it so this appears to be a safe decoupling?
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Only the openssh-sftp-server package to be installed, as it has no ties to the
openssh-client files and is in fact only used by the server side components.
Related but dropbear-bin also has a suggestion to install openssh-client,
however dropbear-bin includes all relevant key-generation tools natively,
so perhaps this 'Suggestion' should point to openssh-sftp-server instead?
