The issue: zssh on Debian Stretch (at least on amd64 architecture) will not start at all and the symptom is the same as what happened in Debian Bug #769366. As described in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=769366#61 , Current version of zssh in Debian Stretch (on amd64 architecture, versioned 1.5c.debian.1-3.2+b4) suffers from RC bug #769366. I had little idea why this happened because a no-change rebuild on Debian Stretch would make zssh fully functional. I tried gdb but the result was not helpful. The previous packager said he once solved this problem in a previous upload so the problem might have been introduced in one of the latter binNMUs. How does a rebuild solve it? I have no idea currently: It Just Works™. I could have digged into the problem but the time to be spent would not be efficient when a simple rebuild solves it. I think those described above should make a stretch-pu for zssh reasonable. -- Regards, Boyuan Yang
