Re: postinst problems updating ssh in debian 2.2r6 - my error.
My error. Dum-dum.
I had installed (some time ago) a non-debian ssh in /usr/local, and it was in root's PATH *before*
anything else. The strange "ssh-keygen" was coming from there. When I changed root's PATH,
bingo! a normal install of the ssh package.
Thanks for the reply, Matthew. It got me looking and thinking.
Doug.
