OK, I tried the source rpm and my attempt failed.
On a Mandrake 5.3 system, there was no support for bzip2,
so I downloaded the bzip2 source rpm and rebuilt it. It
installed correctly and now I have bzip2.
Then I issued the rpm --rebuild ssh-1.2.27-2mdk.src.rpm
it compiled for quite a while, then failed here:
+ ln -s scp1 /var/tmp/build.ssh-1.2.27-2mdk/usr/bin/scp
+ install -s -m 0755 ssh-askpass
/var/tmp/build.ssh-1.2.27-2mdk/usr/bin/ssh-askpass1
install: ssh-askpass: No such file or directory
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.19664 (%install)
**root@gray[/usr/src/other]#
apparently, something like ssh-askpass is missing from the
source. How about it, Axalon?
