[libvirt] Build fails on Debian unstable: libssh's ssh_get_publickey() is deprecated
I ran into a failure trying to compile libvirt on Debian unstable
today:
rpc/virnetlibsshsession.c: In function 'virLibsshServerKeyAsString':
rpc/virnetlibsshsession.c:220:5: error: 'ssh_get_publickey' is deprecated
[-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
if (ssh_get_publickey(sess->session, &key) != SSH_OK) {
^~
In file included from rpc/virnetlibsshsession.c:24:0:
/usr/include/libssh/libssh.h:489:31: note: declared here
SSH_DEPRECATED LIBSSH_API int ssh_get_publickey(ssh_session session, ssh_key *key);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CC libvirt_lxc_la-libvirt-lxc.lo
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
Makefile:8092: recipe for target 'rpc/libvirt_net_rpc_la-virnetlibsshsession.lo'
failed
Looks like Debian decided to start shipping a development snapshot
instead of the latest stable release:
$ dpkg -l | grep libssh-
ii libssh-gcrypt-4:amd64 0.8.0~20170825.94fa1e38-1
ii libssh-gcrypt-dev 0.8.0~20170825.94fa1e38-1
That means we're not in a hurry; still, it probably makes sense to
try and figure out a way to keep it compiling (and working!) sooner
rather than later :)
