[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: ssh
Version: 3.8p1-2

It seems configure is unable to detect res_query and others in
libresolv because resolv.h wasn't included.  It changes it to
__res_query, which is how it's called in the lib too.

The reason this works on some architectures is that they have a
weak alias from res_query to __res_query, but architectures (like
amd64) starting from glibc 2.2 or later don't have that.

I have attached a patch that fixes the detection.

Forwarded upstream as bug #867, thanks. I'll work around it in the
Debian package for now, since I don't want to modify the configure
script and thus have to deal with merging new upstream versions of it.

Cheers,

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.

Changes: 
 openssh (1:4.1p1-3) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Upload to unstable.
 .
 openssh (1:4.1p1-2) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * Drop debconf support for allowing SSH protocol 1, which is discouraged
     and has not been the default since openssh 1:3.0.1p1-1. Users who need
     this should edit sshd_config instead (closes: #147212).
   * Since ssh-keysign isn't used by default (you need to set
     EnableSSHKeysign to "yes" in /etc/ssh/ssh_config), having a debconf
     question to ask whether it should be setuid is overkill, and the
     question text had got out of date anyway. Remove this question, ship
     ssh-keysign setuid in openssh-client.deb, and set a statoverride if the
     debconf question was previously set to false.
   * Add lintian overrides for the above (setuid-binary,
     no-debconf-templates).
   * Fix picky lintian errors about slogin symlinks.
   * Fix DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS/DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM compatibility handling.
   * Apply Linux 2.2 workaround (see #239999) only on Linux.
 .
 openssh (1:4.1p1-1) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release.
     - Normalise socket addresses returned by get_remote_hostname(), fixing
       4-in-6 mapping issues with AllowUsers et al (closes: #192234).
   * Take upstream's hint and disable the unsupported USE_POSIX_THREADS
     (closes: #295757, #308868, and possibly others; may open other bugs).
     Use PAM password authentication to avoid #278394. In future I may
     provide two sets of binaries built with and without this option, since
     it seems I can't win.
   * Disable ChallengeResponseAuthentication in new installations, returning
     to PasswordAuthentication by default, since it now supports PAM and
     apparently works better with a non-threaded sshd (closes: #247521).
   * openssh-server Suggests: rssh (closes: #233012).
   * Change libexecdir to /usr/lib/openssh, and fix up various alternatives
     and configuration files to match (closes: #87900, #151321).
   * Fix up very old sshd_config files that refer to /usr/libexec/sftp-server
     (closes: #141979).
 .
 openssh (1:4.0p1-1) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release.
     - Port-forwarding specifications now take optional bind addresses, and
       the server allows client-specified bind addresses for remote port
       forwardings when configured with "GatewayPorts clientspecified"
       (closes: #87253, #192206).
     - ssh and ssh-keyscan now support hashing of known_hosts files for
       improved privacy. ssh-keygen has new options for managing known_hosts
       files, which understand hashing.
     - sftp supports command history and editing support using libedit
       (closes: #287013).
     - Have scp and sftp wait for the spawned ssh to exit before they exit
       themselves, allowing ssh to restore terminal modes (closes: #257130).
     - Improved the handling of bad data in authorized_keys files,
       eliminating fatal errors on corrupt or very large keys; e.g. linefeeds
       in keys only produce errors in auth.log now (closes: #220726).
     - Add "command mode" to ssh connection multiplexing (closes: #303452).
     - Mention $HOME/.hushlogin in sshd(8) FILES section (closes: #163933).
   * Make gnome-ssh-askpass stay above other windows (thanks, Liyang HU;
     closes: #296487).
   * Remove obsolete and unnecessary ssh/forward_warning debconf note.
   * Hurd build fixes (although sshd still doesn't work):
     - Restore X forwarding fix from #102991, lost somewhere along the way.
     - Link with -lcrypt.
     - Link with -lpthread rather than -pthread.
     - Don't build ssh-askpass-gnome on the Hurd, until GNOME is available to
       satisfy build-dependencies.
   * Drop workaround for #242462 on amd64; it's been fixed properly upstream.
   * Enable HashKnownHosts by default. This only affects new entries; use
     'ssh-keygen -H' to convert an entire known_hosts file to hashed format.
   * Note in ssh_config(5) that the SetupTimeOut option is Debian-specific
     (closes: #307069).
   * debconf template translations:
     - Update Czech (thanks, Miroslav Kure; closes: #298744).
     - Update Finnish (thanks, Matti Pöllä; closes: #303787).
     - Synchronise Spanish with sarge branch (thanks, Javier
       Fernández-Sanguino Peña; closes: #298536).
     - Add Ukrainian (thanks, Eugeniy Meshcheryakov; closes: #301852).
 .
 openssh (1:3.9p1-3) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * Explain how to run sshd from inittab in README.Debian (closes: #147360).
   * Add debian/watch file.
 .
 openssh (1:3.9p1-2) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * Remove pam_nologin from /etc/pam.d/ssh, as sshd's built-in support
     appears to be sufficient and more useful (closes: #162996).
   * Depend on debconf | debconf-2.0.
   * Drop LoginGraceTime back to the upstream default of two minutes on new
     installs (closes: #289573).
   * debconf template translations from Ubuntu bug #1232:
     - Update Greek (thanks, Logiotatidis George).
     - Update Spanish (thanks, Santiago Erquicia).
 .
 openssh (1:3.9p1-1) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release.
     - PAM password authentication implemented again (closes: #238699,
       #242119).
     - Implemented the ability to pass selected environment variables between
       the client and the server.
     - Fix ssh-keyscan breakage when remote server doesn't speak SSH protocol
       (closes: #228828).
     - Fix res_query detection (closes: #242462).
     - 'ssh -c' documentation improved (closes: #265627).
   * Pass LANG and LC_* environment variables from the client by default, and
     accept them to the server by default in new installs, although not on
     upgrade (closes: #264024).
   * Build ssh in binary-indep, not binary-arch (thanks, LaMont Jones).
   * Expand on openssh-client package description (closes: #273831).
 .
 openssh (1:3.8.1p1-14) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * We use DH_COMPAT=2, so build-depend on debhelper (>= 2).
   * Fix timing information leak allowing discovery of invalid usernames in
     PAM keyboard-interactive authentication (backported from a patch by
     Darren Tucker; closes: #281595).
   * Make sure that there's a delay in PAM keyboard-interactive
     authentication when PermitRootLogin is not set to yes and the correct
     root password is entered (closes: #248747).
 .
 openssh (1:3.8.1p1-13) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * Enable threading for PAM, on Sam Hartman's advice (closes: #278394).
   * debconf template translations:
     - Update Dutch (thanks, cobaco; closes: #278715).
   * Correct README.Debian's ForwardX11Trusted description (closes: #280190).
 .
 openssh (1:3.8.1p1-12) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * Preserve /etc/ssh/sshd_config ownership/permissions (closes: #276754).
   * Shorten the version string from the form "OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian
     1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.1" to "OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian-8.sarge.1", as some SSH
     implementations apparently have problems with the long version string.
     This is of course a bug in those implementations, but since the extent
     of the problem is unknown it's best to play safe (closes: #275731).
   * debconf template translations:
     - Add Finnish (thanks, Matti Pöllä; closes: #265339).
     - Update Danish (thanks, Morten Brix Pedersen; closes: #275895).
     - Update French (thanks, Denis Barbier; closes: #276703).
     - Update Japanese (thanks, Kenshi Muto; closes: #277438).
 .
 openssh (1:3.8.1p1-11) experimental; urgency=high
 .
   * Move sshd_config(5) to openssh-server, where it belongs.
   * If PasswordAuthentication is disabled, then offer to disable
     ChallengeResponseAuthentication too. The current PAM code will attempt
     password-style authentication if ChallengeResponseAuthentication is
     enabled (closes: #250369).
   * This will ask a question of anyone who installed fresh with 1:3.8p1-2 or
     later and then upgraded. Sorry about that ... for this reason, the
     default answer is to leave ChallengeResponseAuthentication enabled.
 .
 openssh (1:3.8.1p1-10) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * Don't install the ssh-askpass-gnome .desktop file by default; I've had
     too many GNOME people tell me it's the wrong thing to be doing. I've
     left it in /usr/share/doc/ssh-askpass-gnome/examples/ for now.
 .
 openssh (1:3.8.1p1-9) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * Split the ssh binary package into openssh-client and openssh-server
     (closes: #39741). openssh-server depends on openssh-client for some
     common functionality; it didn't seem worth creating yet another package
     for this. openssh-client is priority standard, openssh-server optional.
   * New transitional ssh package, priority optional, depending on
     openssh-client and openssh-server. May be removed once nothing depends
     on it.
   * When upgrading from ssh to openssh-{client,server}, it's very difficult
     for the maintainer scripts to find out what version we're upgrading from
     without dodgy dpkg hackery. I've therefore taken the opportunity to move
     a couple of debconf notes into NEWS files, namely ssh/ssh2_keys_merged
     and ssh/user_environment_tell.
   * Add a heuristic to try to make sure the sshd_config upgrade to >= 3.7
     happens even though we don't know what version we're upgrading from.
   * Remove /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run on purge of openssh-server. For now
     (until sarge+2) it's still honoured to avoid breaking existing
     configurations, but the right approach is now to remove the
     openssh-server package if you don't want to run the server. Add a NEWS
     item to that effect.
