From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: I have the non-commercial version of "SSH Secure Shell for Workstations 3.2" (from ftp.ssh.com) installed in RPM format. When I run up2date, I see the package openssh-3.4p1-2 wrongly listed as an update. Selecting it and letting up2date do its work removes the package ssh-3.2.0 from my system and installs the OpenSSH package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. remove all OpenSSH packages 2. download source of non-commercial SSH version 3. build it 4. install it in RPM format using `checkinstall' 5. run up2date Actual Results: `openssh-3.4p1-2' is listed as an update package. Expected Results: There should be no OpenSSH packages listed, as none are installed on my system. Additional info: $ rpm -qa openssh\* $ rpm -q ssh ssh-3.2.0-1 $ rpm -q --provides ssh ssh ssh = 3.2.0-1 $
Our openssh packages "obsoletes" ssh, and up2date is following that suggestion and replacing ssh with openssh. Ie, not a bug. If you dont want this to happen, you can place ssh on the package skip list.
