Bug#562593: openssh-server fails to install - hangs at generating DSA2 key (Debian MIPS on SGI Indy R5000)
Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:5.1p1-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
The .postinst script successfully generates an RSA host_key, but the system then hangs at:
"Creating SSH2 DSA key: This may take some time ..."
The system is not completely unresponsive: I can switch to another tty. top shows ssh-keygen running and CPU usage at 99%.
I have left the ssh-keygen process running for more than 24 hours but it never completes.
If I ^C and break the script, logins from other boxes intermittently fail due to missing DSA2 host_key.
