Colin, when is ssh 1:4.1p1-4 expected to enter testing? depending on (open)ssh-client makes autossh uninstallable on testing filippo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

(Assuming it doesn't use any > OpenSSH-specific features, that is; if it does, then remove > ssh-client.) I think the safe approach would be to say that autossh does depend on openssh-specific features: - it invokes "ssh", which AFAIK still refers exclusively to the OpenSSH client; - the man page discusses which command-line switches it can use that aren't already taken by ssh, meaning specifically the OpenSSH client; - it may (but I'm not sure about this) set other OpenSSH-specific command-line switches before invoking ssh. In Cygwin it definitely does. In Linux it may not yet, but the design assumes OpenSSH and so it may start doing so at any time in the future. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

It should probably depend on 'openssh-client | ssh-client' to avoid depending on a pure virtual package.

No, the client. autossh starts an ssh client, and then restarts it as necessary if the connection to the server dies or stops passing traffic. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#315049: autossh: depends on transitional package ssh
Package: autossh Version: 1.3-1 Severity: important autossh depends on the package ssh, which has been marked as transitional. The ssh client is now provided by the openssh-client package. Maybe autossh should depend on ssh-client, which is provided by openssh-client.
