Re: SSH Obsolete?
This is OpenSSH (from non-us.debian.org). Is there an OpenSSH2 package? If so, it's not showing up in dselect. In fact, other than this package (which is marked obsolete) no other ssh packages show up: except qmtpssh, which is not what I'm looking for. If you're interested in OpenSSH 2.1.something, you can fetch the Woody packages, you need ssh, ssh-askpass(-gnome) and libssl095 AFAIR. Isn't the currently debianized ssh2 package the official ssh2 (i.e. non-free, sucky licensed one) as opposed to the OpenSSH 2 version? Are there debian packages of the latter hiding someplace?

Re: SSH Obsolete?
Does /etc/apt/sources.list contain an entry for non-US (something like deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US/main)? Anything which isn't currently found in one of your defined mirrors will be listed as obsolete. Also, did you run Update from dselect's menu? I've found that dselect may not sync with apt until that occurs (make sure you set the access method to apt first).

Thanks, I was wondering what obsolete meant. Also, did you run Update from dselect's menu? I've found that dselect may not sync with apt until that occurs (make sure you set the access method to apt first). Dselect is already set to apt. But, after running Update from dselect, dselect now shows no obsolete packages. Dselect keeps a separate package database from apt? I suppose it has to do with supporting 4 different access methods... Thanks a lot! -Matt Stegman [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Note that ssh and ssh2 is not the same package with different versions, even though the names might indicate it. The package ssh contains OpenSSH, while ssh2 contains ssh, the non-free one. If you use the package from woody, you will see both ssh and ssh2, which is at the same functionality level. To update, point your sources.list to woody non-us. Do apt-get update. Then apt-get install ssh. It fixes dependencies and installs the program. Very nice. -- John__ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quis custodiet ipsos custodes icq: thales @ 17755648
