Well, as I recall the bug was due to dpkg corrupting one of its linked lists, so it's allowed to be counter-intuitive. :-) > So: dpkg -i ssh_old.deb && dpkg -i ssh{,-{client,server}}_new.deb Ah, that was the problem: I hadn't been upgrading ssh, but only installing openssh-client and openssh-server (which caused ssh to be removed, although not purged). I can now reproduce the problem by upgrading to 1:4.3p2-6 in testing. I can confirm that the bug is fixed in 1:4.3p2-7 in unstable by upgrading in the same manner. When upgrading without touching any conffiles, I get: (Reading database ... 8904 files and directories currently installed.)

I think that the release team should feel confident about including this in etch provided that the ssh-krb5 changes seem to be working out OK.
