Downgrade openssh

Post by clauslack »

Now I have
openssh-5.9p1-x86_64-3_slack13.37, and gslapt show for "upgrade" to
openssh-5.9p1-x86_64-2_slack13.37.txz

Slackware security (20/10/2014) show openssh-5.9p1-x86_64-2_slack13.37.txz
http://www.slackware.com/security/viewe ... ity.521613

but why I have version 3 of openssh ?

Edit: openssh-5.9p1-x86_64-3_slack13.37 is in
http://www.slackware.com/security/viewe ... ity.523534

My guess is the Salix repository needs to sync to refelct the availability of the new version. If so, this should occur within a day or so. If not, please report back.

EDIT

Obviously, you need to update your local package list:

Code: Select all

spi -u
I just did so here and I see 2 not 3.

The kind of screwed up the numbering in slackware...

they should have numbered this 4, but instead they numbered it 2 again.

You're OK though. The latest 2 is actually newer than the 3.
