New version of openssh cannot connect to ssh server

[Ruxiao Ma]

I'm using ubuntu 11.04 alpha with openssl 1:5.6, but I cannot connect to any ssh server, including a server on ubuntu 8.04 and a server on ubuntu 10.04. I downgraded to openssl 1:5.5, and it works.

openssl 1:5.6 is in `natty' source, I downgraded to `maverick' source.

I have the same problem, confirming it.

I seem to have a similar problem in natty, but it happens only occasionally. I can successfully connect about 70% of the time. Using openssh-client 1:5.6p1-2ubuntu3.

@Colin the issue is not exist after an upgrade.

You weren't the original reporter of this bug; Ruxiao Ma was. You need
to verify whether it's gone away for the original reporter, too.
Perhaps you had some other problem that just happened to look similar.

Okay, I'll confirm it myself.

Now I can connect to any SSH server without problem, although I don't know which version fixed it.
