[git-sdk-64] Missing dll msys-ssp-0.dll in gcc-libs

[viereckigerhai]

On Friday Feb 02, 2018 I upgraded my git-sdk-64 installation. After that, openssh did not work anymore, because of a missing dll "msys-ssp-0.dll".

The following packages were upgraded (pacman -Qu):

gcc-libs 6.4.0-2 -> 6.4.0-3
git-extra 1.1.239.b06544d-1 -> 1.1.241.91af289c6-1
libtasn1 4.12-1 -> 4.13-1
mingw-w64-x86_64-harfbuzz 1.7.4-1 -> 1.7.5-1
mingw-w64-x86_64-mpfr 4.0.0-1 -> 4.0.1-1
mintty 1~2.8.3-1 -> 1~2.8.4-1
mpfr 4.0.0.1-3 -> 4.0.1-1
patch 2.7.5-1 -> 2.7.6-1
vim 8.0.1305-1 -> 8.0.1476-1
wget 1.19.3-1 -> 1.19.4-1

Turns out that  gcc-libs 6.4.0-3 is lacking that dll, while 6.4.0-2 still contains it... Feature or bug?

Thank you for all your efforts you put into this project!

Hi,

That was a change by Cygwin (and inherited by MSYS2, and therefore Git for
Windows) that caused quite a bit of work for me: It took me quite a while
to clean up all the loose ends caused by that.

But yes, it was intentional. (By them, not by me.)

Ciao,
Johannes

So what do I have to to do use git-sdk-64 again? Right now, openssh (and possibly other tools depending on that library) does not work...

You update via `pacman -Syu` and get the newest `openssh` version, of
course. (As is MSYS2's custom, you may have to update multiple times in a
row until you are fully up-to-date.)

I have rebuilt `openssh` on Mon Feb 12 22:56:40 2018 (version 7.6p1-2),
and just verified that it works.

Ciao,

Ok, with that new openssh version it works again. Thank you so much!

Best regards, Hans
