It only works if you enable red-pill mode. That's because 'ssh' is a system package (it's section is not "user/*"). > On a related note, somehow I have a dummy package that shows up > without red-pill mode.

I created it as an experiment, but it doesn't work reliably. openssh-installer from a repository at mg.pov.lt depends on ssh from the maemo SDK repository. By default neither of those repositories are present in the application catalogue, and the .install file would need to add both, which is impossible with the current .install file format. > Seems to me the .install file hosted on Maemo.org should install this > package instead of ssh if it doesn't work. Someone should take the ssh package from the SDK repository, change the section to user/net, and upload it to the Maemo Extras repository. (I've been vaguely planning to do this for about a year now, so don't hold your breath. Also, first I'd need to figure out how you upload packages to Maemo Extras, and by 'figure out' I mean 'read the documentation page that explains it'.)
