Package: ssh
Version: 1:6.7p1-5+deb8u4
Severity: normal
Hi,
on a pure-jessie-vm `apt-get install ssh` currently fails with:
--------------8<----------------
# apt-get install ssh
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ssh : Depends: openssh-client (>= 1:6.7p1-5+deb8u4) but 1:6.7p1-5+deb8u3 is to be installed
Depends: openssh-server (>= 1:6.7p1-5+deb8u4) but 1:6.7p1-5+deb8u3 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
-------------->8----------------
I suspect this stems from yesterday's upload [1] containing only .debs for
amd64 and the ssh_6.7p1-5+deb8u4_all.deb, the latter depending on currently
unavailable openssh-(client|server)_6.7p1-5+deb8u4_i386.deb...
In fact I suspect `apt-get install ssh` on jessie currently would fail on ANY
arch except amd64.
Cheers
Daniel

Agreed; using any suite that's a direct upload target
(*-proposed-updates, unstable) rather than gated by some kind of
promotion process (oldstable, stable, testing) is unavoidably going to
cause you to experience this kind of thing sometimes.
Regardless, all architectures including i386 now have 1:6.7p1-5+deb8u4
in oldstable-proposed-updates according to rmadison, so closing this
bug.
