Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2006-11-20 19:03:56 UTC 
I'm unable to reproduce this problem here. Have you tried repeatedly downgrading
(--oldpackage) and upgrading to openssh-server-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.17.1 and
openssh-server-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.17?
Comment 2 Subhendu Ghosh 2006-11-21 14:55:21 UTC 
downgrade fails as well:

rpm --oldpackage -Uvh openssh-server-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.15.i386.rpm
openssh-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.15.i386.rpm openssh-clients-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.15.i386.rpm
openssh-askpass-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.15.i386.rpm
openssh-askpass-gnome-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.15.i386.rpm

# rpm -qa | grep openssh
openssh-server-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.17
openssh-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.15

openssh-askpass-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.15
openssh-askpass-gnome-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.15

Trying to uninstall openssh-server and netdump-server also fails:
# rpm -e openssh-server netdump-server
error: %preun(netdump-server-0.7.16-2.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255
error: %preun(openssh-server-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.17.i386) scriptlet failed, exit
status 255

Looks like I may have a borked scriplet execution environment.
Comment 3 Tomas Mraz 2006-11-21 18:24:06 UTC 
It seems so there is something seriously broken on your machine. Various
scriptlets are crashing.

Closing as NOTABUG as this is definitely not a bug in openssh.
