OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

Hi,

I've just released OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2.
This is bugfix release. It should fix upgrade from previous versions and
bug #2332(unsupported options in config).

You can install it from garage project page [1], maemo downloads site [2] or maemo extras repositories for 3 maemo distributions - gregale(OS2006), bora(OS2007) and chinook(OS2008).

Please test it and report your findings/wishes to openssh garage bug/feature request tracker.

BR,
Ed

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

Now upgrade / installation seems to be completely broken. I did try to install the upgrade, and it failed due to ufilled dependencies (I think someting about dropbear).

As the same thing happened on the last openssh update and back then I was able to solve the problem by completely uninstalling an reinstalling openssh I did try the same thing again.

But now after uninstalling openssh it's not even possible to reinstall it. :(

Edit: to be more precise, its' not possible to install openssh-client and therefore also not the openssh metapackage. The reason seems to be, that the openssh-client package is corrupted. Redownloading / clearing the apt-get cache doesn't help.
Just installing the openssh-common and openssh-server packages is working fine.

iskarion: On which ITOS did you try to install it?
I've just installed openssh-client on my OS2008 without any problem.

BTW, do you have dropbear installed? openssh-client conflicts with dropbear.

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

Upgrade isn't working for me;

Complains about not being able to find the 'openssh-common' dependency

One click install updates the 'openssh' meta-package but not the openssh-client and openssh-server packages

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

I couldn't be bothered with the openssh problems so I just did in terminal:
dpkg --purge --force-all openssh
dpkg --purge --force-all openssh-client
dpkg --purge --force-all openssh-common
dpkg --purge --force-all openssh-server

and reinstalled.

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

is all that's needed.

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

This is reinstallation. The issue I'm trying to solve is with upgrades.

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

I know. But as an end user, I just want to be to use the product. If that involves removing and reinstalling , then so be it.

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

Can you show me exac application manager message? Which ITOS do you use? From where and which packages did you try to install?

That's another story. Thanks for the info, I'll look at it.

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

Did you try to upgrade it end-user way? I mean using application manager?

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

I did but application manager got stuck because I had edited ssh_config to fix the problem that existed then which you fixed here and dpkg wanted to know whether to replace it or not, which I couldnt select in application manager.

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

Same here (OS 2007, never installed dropbear, always acted as an "end-user"). I was forced to uninstall and then install again (as for the last n upgrades). Maybe some times the developers find some time to fix this, maybe not.

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

May be they will fix it if users explain them how to reproduce the problem.

Which package (openssh, openssh-server or openssh-client) did you try to upgrade? Which version you had installed before the upgrade? Which way did you use (AM only, garage install, maemo/downoads install)?

I need detailed explanation of the bug to be able to fix it.

PS: I never heard about this bug until may be week ago. My bug tracker on garage is almost empty. How I suppose to know that the problem exists at all?

Please, explain how to reproduce it.

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

currrent situation (last time, using application manager, I couldn't update client or server, just the metapackage):
after an apt-get update everything seems to have worked fine:

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

FWIW, I'm having the same problem... I am able to upgrade openSSH common but cannot upgrade the client or the server.

I get the following log message from Application Manager:

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

What exactly does it say when you're trying to upgrade?

Oops :(. Did you update with AM before trying to install openssh-client or server?

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

Thank you for the info. I'll try to reproduce this in my environment.

From where did you try to install packages? Which ITOS version did you use?

Can you show me output of this command, pleaese?

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

I think the same message other reported, i.e. missing openssh-common


I tried to upgrade (I already had openssh server/client) with AM previously and it failed, this time I tried with apt-get hoping to get a pasteable error but, as you see, it worked.

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

Hi Ed,

I attempted to upgrade via Maemo App Manager. I'm still running the previous ITOS 2008 v50-2.

Here the xterm messages after grepping:
NOKIA:~ ROOT#dpkg -l |grep ssh
ii openssh 4.7p1-2.maemo 2 Secure shell client and server
ii openssh-client 4.6p1-5.maemo 3 Secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh/rcp rep lacement
ii openssh-common 4.6p1-5.maemo 3 Common files fro ssh server and client
ii openssh-server 4.6p1-5.maemo 3 Secure shell server, an rshd replacement

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

PinCushionQueen: Thank you very much for the most detailed info in this thread. Now I'm able to reproduce the bug.

I can also confirm luca's observations: apt can install and upgrade packages just fine, problem appears only when upgrading with AM. Looks like it introduces it's own logic in calculating package dependencies. As a result it complains that openssh-common 1:4.6p1-5.maemo3 is missing, when it's installed on the system.

Will see what I can do with this. Thank you guys for your help, I really appreciate it.

Ed

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

Sorry, I could not be more precise than PinCushionQueen. The only difference to her/him: OS2007, always used AM to update.

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

I am sure this is just my problem, but ever since I upgraded to this version every time I reboot my N800 I have to stop and restart (as root) openSSH to be able to connect to my tablet. Until I restart openssh I get a connection refused error.

ps -efjc |grep sshd shows:

1497 root 3176 SW /usr/sbin/sshd
1819 root 5784 SW sshd: root@pts/0
1838 root 1884 RW grep sshd

When it is working properly (and connected) having been restarted as ROOT by me.

and shows:

1332 root 1888 RW grep sshd

When I am getting connection refused. If I am not mistaken, it looks like it is running. but I still get connection refused until I restart it..

Anyone seen this before?

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

Can you please take a look into Openssh project - Bug report, maemo garage.

I'm getting very slow connections, not for login, but for command display and execution. i'm using openssh-client on n800 and trying to connect to a router.

Thanks.

Re: OpenSSH 1:4.7p1-2.maemo2 has been released
 

Anyone else have this problem? I'm trying to copy a few hundred megs via scp from my N810 to my PC, but the copy stalls every time. All network conectivity on the N810 is broken until I reboot. Anyone tried large copies via ssh/scp ?

Openssh v5.1p1-6.maemo5 and PWD?
 

I just installed
Openssh v5.1p1-6.maemo5
on the N900, it said that it wants a password but I wanted to do something else before.
How can I set this passwd afterwards?
Is it "just" the keygeneration stuff so that I can repeat this with
ssh-keygen
?

Re: Openssh v5.1p1-6.maemo5 and PWD?
 

Been a long time since I installed openssh, I'm pretty sure password means password and not keygen. Run "passwd" to change password.
