Bug#699473: openssh-server has overly restrictive dependency on exact openssh-client version
Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:5.9p1-5ubuntu1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
After building a newer version of openssh-client from source, I noticed
that openssh-server requires an exact version of openssh-client. Surely,
this can be replaced with a >= dependency?
This problem exists in debian stable (6), testing, and unstable as well as
ubuntu 10.04.
Thanks for your time.
