There's a bug in the check for -fstack-protector-all:

As "libcbor0.8" is existing for hppa, could it be an alternative to
build libfido2 1.8.0 instead of 1.6.0? Or is this version also affected
by this bug?
The problem was the libfido2_1.8.0-1 build previously failed due to the
cmake configuration
bug, and libcbor0 got removed from the archive.  This prevented the last
build of libfido2
(1.6.0) from being upgraded as it depended on libcbor0.  I suspect
openssh was built before libcbor0
was removed.

I see, thanks for the explanation. I actually wondered why nobody else
seemed to have hit that block, as I assumed that "libcbor0" was removed
before "openssh-*" actually depended on it through "libfido2-1" due to
its age. But checking the changelog of "libcbor0.8" ([1]), the
replacement happened just last month, so its understandable that I only
ran into this, because I didn't upgrade my installation for two years or
so prior to my recent upgrade.

Dependency problems like this are common on Debian ports and it is often
necessary to rebuild
packages to resolve dependencies.

Well, I seem to have a talent to run into these issues. :-)

Cheers,
Frank
