ssh stopped working in Slackware-current.

I upgraded to Slackware-current. But when I want to use ssh:

Code:

$ ssh
OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 90707f, you have 90801f

Check if your openssl package was upgraded to 0.9.8a along with all the other "-current" packages (I assume you upgraded everything to -current?).

This was changed on feb 9th: openssl-solibs-0.9.8a-i486-1.tgz and openssl-0.9.8a-i486-1.tgz

Also worth mentioning with Slackware -current: when Slackware is in development towards a new release, new packages may get added. If you only upgrade packages you already had installed, you will miss all the new stuff, and some applications will refuse to run if they depend on these new ones.

Just to name a few from the ChangeLog:
openldap-client
db44
db42
cairo
amarok
libmusicbrainz
libtunepimp
linuxdoc-tools

I had the same exact problem yesterday. Try compiling OpenSSH from source. I'm not completely sure of why this works but I've learned not to use .tgz's, as they're too irritating (unreliable) to work with.

Yes, I followed the Changelog. So I also have the new packages. But I don't have the official packages of openldap-client, cairo and libmusicbrainz since they are included in Gware.

Do you mean *all* .tgz's, or just the ones for OpenSSH?

Diminished7th · 04-23-2006, 05:39 PM

Well, for your specific situation, I was referring only to the OpenSSH tgz's. However, in general, I'm inclined to make use of source as well.

there is nothing unreliable about
the official slackware packages.

Diminished7th · 04-23-2006, 06:51 PM

I've encountered a wealth of supposed "official" Slackware packages that have done not but to leave me slocating througout my directories only to find that nothing has been installed or extracted anywhere.

kodon · 04-23-2006, 07:33 PM

i'm not familiar with "supposedly" official packages.
they are either officially maintained and appear on
the official mirrors or not. if, on the other hand, you
are referring to repo packages maintained by cluebies...
then i certainly agree with you.

if the official packages are not installing correctly,
then something is seriously wrong with your setup.

This happened to me on one machine out of three, which was using slapt-get, the other two use swaret.

I just downloaded the openssh package (again? - it was missing) and installed it.

merchtemeagle · 04-27-2006, 06:01 PM

It's indeed a strange problem. I removed the openssh, openssl and openssl-solibs packages, downloaded them from a USA mirror and reinstalled them. SSH is working again.
