Re: ssh refuses to install (potato)




  This looks like a bug in the install scripts within the .deb.  Did
anything else fail as well?  Mine upgraded fine but I'm on woody not
potato.  See if dpkg upgraded (it may use -t).  If not then just hang on
a day or so, the maintainer will hopefully fix it (my experience is they
fix em very quickly) or the maintainer or the broken dependancy needs to
have something pushed to potato.

Thus spake Simon Young (simon@blackstar.co.uk):
