Description Alan Cox 2002-04-07 00:20:15 UTC

The openssh scripts bomb if openssh is installed before the dev package is
present. This to all intents and purposes "can't happen" with the standard RH
installer though.

Comment 1 Nalin Dahyabhai 2003-11-12 18:11:13 UTC

Can you be more specific about the failure in this case?  Are we
talking about redirection to /dev/null creating an empty file which
gets overwritten with a device node when 'dev' is installed, or
something more serious like an application attempting to communicate
with a tty which isn't there?

Comment 2 Alan Cox 2003-11-12 23:28:03 UTC

If its installed before the dev package the scriplets fail when its
being installed. It would fail to run without dev but thats a bit of a
different problem.

I found this with a custom install builder for a small box, that
happened to do ssh before dev and got script errors

Comment 3 Nalin Dahyabhai 2003-11-13 00:23:39 UTC

... fails how, exactly?  Error message?

Comment 4 Alan Cox 2003-11-13 00:29:11 UTC

I'll try and find a box to rerun the test set on next week or two.

Its "low" priority for good reason tho

Comment 5 Tomas Mraz 2005-02-04 16:10:15 UTC

No response here.

Comment 6 Tomas Mraz 2005-04-01 08:13:47 UTC

Does it still apply now that we have the udev?
Please reopen if still needed.
