The issue: zssh on Debian Stretch (at least on amd64 architecture)
will not start at all and the
symptom is the same as what happened in Debian Bug #769366.
As described in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=769366#61 , Current
version
of zssh in Debian Stretch (on amd64 architecture, versioned
1.5c.debian.1-3.2+b4) suffers from
RC bug #769366. I had little idea why this happened because a
no-change rebuild on Debian
Stretch would make zssh fully functional. I tried gdb but the result
was not helpful.
The previous packager said he once solved this problem in a previous
upload so the problem
might have been introduced in one of the latter binNMUs.
How does a rebuild solve it? I have no idea currently: It Just Works™.
I could have digged into
the problem but the time to be spent would not be efficient when a
simple rebuild solves it.
I think those described above should make a stretch-pu for zssh reasonable.
