ssh upgrade problems (potato)
Hi all,
I know this query is a little out of date, but I was wondering if anyone
had seen this before.
I'm trying to upgrade ssh on one of my potato machines. But I always get
this:
# dpkg -i ssh_1%3a3.4p1-0.0potato1_i386.deb
> (Reading database ... 35706 files and directories currently installed.)

It *looks* like dpkg is trying to generate ssh2 keys using the previous
version of ssh-keygen, rather than the latest version (which stands to
reason, as the latest version isn't installed at this point).
Unfortunately, the previous version of ssh-keygen doesn't support the
-t option.
The version I'm upgrading from is:
SSH Version 1.2.27 [i686-unknown-linux], protocol version 1.5.
Standard version. Does not use RSAREF.
Im I missing an intermediate version of ssh, perhaps?
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Simon.
