Re: problem compiling openssh

A few days ago, an apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade broke ssh for
me.  Apparently the version of ssh that was installed was compiled
against a later version of the openssl library than I have.  So I
attempted to compile the ssh package from source against my version of
the openssl library.  This failed saying it could not find libwrap.
However, when I checked for libwrap, it was there.  Does anyone know
what is going on here or what to do?

Thanks, Anthony


Here's how I got ssh working again.

1) make sure you have the following packages installed:

debhelper
libwrap0-dev
libpam0g-dev
libssl-dev


2) run this command

apt-get --compile source ssh


3) install the resulting ssh deb


There may be other required packages that I already had installed that you still need. If so, the apt-get command will die with a failure. You should be able to tell from the error message which packages you still need to install.

Good luck.
