Bug 29651 – emerge -u world, wants to install new package ssh-3.2.5

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Rob Davies 2003-09-26 01:07:52 UTC]

I am up to date with ~x86 as of 2003/09/25, the new package ssh added earlier 
today is marked as 
 
emerge -up world 
 
[ebuild  N    ] net-misc/ssh-3.2.5  
 
I don't understand this, as everything else is up to date now, and as ssh is a 
new ebuild, nothing should depend on it. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.


Expected Results:  
I'd expect ssh-3.2.5 to be ignored, unless I decide to emerge it. 

grep ssh /var/cache/edb/world 
net-misc/kssh 
 
I have a New open bug, on emerge -Du world installing net-mail/ssmtp, when I 
have net-mail/postfix installed, and virtual/mta net-mail/postfix in the 
virtuals file.  Mention that in case this is not something to do with ssh, but 
some kind of portage craziness.

Sorry I meant to paste this in virtual/mta with emerge -Dup world - http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29499

I second this. And in the process it fuckes up all the openssh scripts I
have on my machine, because ssh now defaults to /usr/bin/ssh which is the
ssh-3.2.5 version (not openssh).

this has already been fixed ... it was a typo that was on rsync servers for
about an hour
