Source: openssh
Version: 1:10.0p1-2
Severity: serious

Hi,

openssh's configure detects a value for _PATH_PASSWD_PROG. This 
relies on the `passwd` program being available at configure time.

This is currently true on the Debian buildds running bookworm; their 
deboostrap installs passwd into the chroot. The buildds running 
trixie, do not. Later in the trixie lifetime, more buildds will be 
upgraded to trixie, and then openssh will silently change its 
behaviour when rebuilt in trixie.

Please explicitly Build-Depend: passwd to fix this.

This problem was found on reproduce.debian.net.

Thanks,
Chris
