Hello, I have a woody box here... A few days ago, I did an upgrade from within dselect, and had ssh installed, but not with libssl09 (on which it depends). I installed libssl09a, and forced the install with the "Q" key when prompted to solve the dependency/conflict problem... Things worked well, and I actually used ssh with no problems (as far as I could see). (I wanted libssl09a because I also installed openssl)
But today the ssh package was upgraded... So I tried to upgrade using dselect... There was the same problem, and I tried to force the same thing as before (keep libssl09a installed and don't install libssl09), hit "Q"... And all right, I was in the main menu again. Then, when I asked dselect to [I]nstall, it said the only thing it'd do was to remove ssh!!! I also tried apt-get with all relevant options I saw in the manpage, but it also refused to do anything but removing ssh. Both ssh packages have the very same dependencies, and the only difference is that the installed version "Provides: rsh-server": Version: 1:1.2.3-6 Provides: rsh-server Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libpam0g, libssl09, libwrap0, libz1, libpam-modules, libwrap0 (>= 7.6-1.1) Suggests: ssh-askpass, debconf Conflicts: ssh-nonfree, ssh-socks, ssh2, debconf (<< 0.2.17), debconf-tiny (<< 0.2.17) Version: 1:1.2.3-8 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libpam0g, libssl09, libwrap0, libz1, libpam-modules, libwrap0 (>= 7.6-1.1) Suggests: ssh-askpass, debconf Conflicts: ssh-nonfree, ssh-socks, ssh2, debconf (<< 0.2.17), debconf-tiny (<< 0.2.17) Well.. Is there any way to upgrade ssh only, other than ftping to ftp.debian.org, getting the .deb file and then using dpkg manually? And -- this is what's puzzling me -- why would dselect now refuse to do something it did just a few days ago? As far as I remember, it was not even upgraded (so I'd have the same dselect program behaving differently in 2 similar situations)...
