openssh bugs - Sep 2003 - [Bug 631] Build fails on Redhat Linux 6.x

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631

           Summary: Build fails on Redhat Linux 6.x
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.6.1p2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Build system
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: mdobel at kawo2.rwth-aachen.de


I needed this package for a box running Redhat 6.2. So I changed the 
build6x-define in the specfile from 0 to 1 and tried to build the package. rpm 
complained about

  error: failed build dependencies:
          db1-devel   is needed by openssh-3.6.1p1-1

caused by this part of the specfile:

  %if ! %{build6x}
  BuildPreReq: glibc-devel, pam
  %else
  BuildPreReq: db1-devel, /usr/include/security/pam_appl.h
  %endif

There is no db1 package in Redhat 6.x, db1 was intruduced in 7.x. In Redhat 6.x 
the contents of db1 are part of the glibc package. It seems like that the 
condition is the wrong way around.

Add build7x variable.

There seems to be some confusion about this.

 - (djm) Fix Redhat RPM build dependancy test

and from Redhat bug #55105:
"If build_6x is defined for building openssh on a 6.x box, it won't
build
because it claims to need db1-devel.  However db1-devel does not exist for
6.x, as it is included in glibc-devel."

A quick survey shows db1-devel present *only* in 7.x releases, so no amount of
fiddling with build6x is going to get it right for all cases.

How about this patch?  I'm not fluent in specfile so it might be wrong, but
it
works on my RH8.0 box.
