The ssh problem is probably the known bug that anything using NSS needs to be restarted after the libc upgrade. The next package will warn about that.

Please investigate that further. -- learning from failures is nice in theory... but in practice, it sucks :) - Wolfgang Jaehrling -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
