OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 3050003f, you have 30500040

Joy. OpenSSL reverted their version numbering change in 3.5.4 but it means ssh will need to be rebuilt

@tsoome: This happens if your openssl-3 build is newer than the openssh build. After each openssl-3 update we have to rebuild openssh. You may have updated your system in a moment where the openssh rebuild wasn't yet published.

That was only necessary for the move from 3.5.2->3.5.3, and then again for 3.5.3->3.5.4 because of a mistake by the openssl team (at least that is how I'm going to characterise it). Future upgrades within the 3.5.x train shouldn't need an openssh rebuild.

I only followed the discussion after the first problematic update. The openssl people wrote that the openssh developers were too strictly checking the version number IIRC.

Yes there were come comments like that, but in the end they realised that that had always documented that the last 8 bits were zero so they reverted the change. It was always a bit of a strange thing to do in the middle of a release train.

4 bits, not 8..

hm, yep, had a bit older ssh:)
