Package: sshpass
Version: 1.01-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
When connecting using sshpass, sshpass takes 100% CPU during the

any serious use.

installed.
Either chicken-setup is moved into chicken-dev, or the incorrect

to write to it not as part of a package installation. I'm not familiar
enough with chicken to suggest a definitive alternative, but either
