openssh upgrading.

Hi Nico,

Thank you very much for your instructions.

I set the following values in openssh.spec before the rpm build.

%define no_gnome_askpass 1
%define no_x11_askpass 1
%define build6x 1
%{?build_6x:%define build6x 0}

Then rebuild the following rpms. Installed all of them and no any connectivity issued encountered this time.

openssh-6.6p1-1.x86_64.rpm
openssh-clients-6.6p1-1.x86_64.rpm
openssh-debuginfo-6.6p1-1.x86_64.rpm
openssh-server-6.6p1-1.x86_64.rpm

You mean that installing openssh-debuginfo broke it? And uninstalling openssh-debuginfo fixed it?

Why are you continuing to use out of date releases? 6.7p1 is out and in production use.

You could have just reset the 'define' statements to have value '1'

           %define no_gnome_askpass 1
           %define no_x11_askpass 1

That way, your SRPM would still have the relevant tarball if you want it. Becasue, you see, that 'BuildPreReq' also cleared outer prereqs.such as 'glibc-devel' and 'pam'. So you actually wound up changing several things more than you needed.

And in fact, there is a 'build6x'  option you may want to set for your operating system.
