You're right: But the problem, IIRC, didn't show up with official openssh sources from debian mirrors but with ssh sources from debian *after* patching them with openssh-selinux.patch.gz and *after* running "autoconf" before the actual build. Running autoconf for a *successful default*, i.e. non-SE debian ssh build isn't necessary, IINM. Remember my posting from July 28: "SeLinux packages compiled smoothly on ppc (after some help ..)"? I wrote there I had build successfully, amongst others, these packages: openssh-client-udeb_3.8.1p1-7_powerpc.udeb openssh-server-udeb_3.8.1p1-7_powerpc.udeb ssh-askpass-gnome_3.8.1p1-7_powerpc.deb ssh_3.8.1p1-7_powerpc.deb For the built of the latter ecos, ecosconfig, libwxgtk2.4 were not installed, IINM ... So what do I tell the openssh Debian maintainer: Your sources don't work if I patch them with files that are not (yet ?) part of the Debian system? So for me it's not quite clear where the problem lies ... it doesn't seem to be a bug in a debian package ... or did I miss something? Tomorrow, Sunday, I will try to re-establish conditions for a failing se-openssh build, i.e. I will try to first uninstall ecos, ecosconfig, libwxgtk2.4 again and then rebuild ssh: the stock debian one and the other one patched for SE-Linux, logging both builts, if possible --- I hope things will become clear by that. Please let me someone one if the latter procedure isn't worth the effort ... Please remember: I'm running Debian only since about 12 months .. it's still possible I make mistakes here ..
