Package: openssh-client Version: 1:6.2p2-3 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
Dear Maintainer, ssh-agent removes the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH from the environment it was started in. This is fatal, for example when starting a session with a desktop installed to a different $PREFIX for development pruposes. I have KDE master compiled and installed to /opt/kde-master, and I set up my .xsessionrc to prepare the environment for executing the entire KDE session from this prefix. However, ssh-agent removes the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (which was set to /opt/kde-master/lib) from the environment before /usr/bin/startkde is launched, thereby breaking my session in funny and subtle ways. Most binaries have an RPATH set, but some open libraries or plugins later and end up pulling incompatible .so files from /usr/lib. Please refrain from breaking the carefully set-up environment ssh-agent is started in. I verified that it is ssh-agent which breaks the environment by commenting out the contents of 90x11-common_ssh-agent.
