ssh refuses to install (potato)

[Simon Young <simon@blackstar.co.uk>]

Hi all,

I have a very strange problem. I'm trying to upgrade ssh on a potato
box, but dpkg always exits with the following error:


# dpkg -i ssh_1%3a3.4p1-0.0potato1_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 35706 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace ssh 1:1.2.3-9.4 (using ssh_1%3a3.4p1-0.0potato1_i386.deb) ...

Creating SSH2 RSA keyssh-keygen: invalid option -- t
dpkg: error processing ssh (--install):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ssh


All my other machines are fine. It's just this one that has a problem.

The prvious, working version of ssh is this one:

# ssh -V                                   
SSH Version 1.2.27 [i686-unknown-linux], protocol version 1.5.
Standard version.  Does not use RSAREF.


Anyone have any clues?

Thanks very much!

Simon.
