Of course, if you'd bothered to check the BTS, you'd have noted the grave
bug(s) filed against ssh, and their actual cause, namely the change to
MAKEDEV.

After all, chances are that it wasn't ssh that caused it, since ssh didn't
update.  You did actually pay attention to what was updating, yes?

Ah, can't expect a user of unstable to do either one, I suppose.
