In fact openssh 2.92p2 from woody wouldn't build without the openssl libraries also from woody. The binary is linked with the openssl libraries so they have to be installed. Without serious surgery I wouldn't have been able to get them to work in another location than what they were set up for. Since I don't use the other packages you mention I just went ahead with it. I remembered that I did get the packages built. What happened is that the ssh package had a conflict with rsh-client. It's not my fault that I have to connect to some unsecured solaris workstations that I still have rsh-client around. Anyway, I couldn't image why ssh conflicts with it, so I just installed the new ssh package with --force-depends. Eric
