Hi,

I rebuilt libssl/ssh debs by removing the pre/post install scripts and
modifying the Depends field, you can find them here:
http://www.xdev.org/nokia/

That way they install properly (install libssl first of course) and
the ssh client works (it will be in /var/lib/install/bin though).

Secondly, is there any way of getting the root account ?.. even with
knowing the root password, su doesn't work, and sudo neither (perhaps
because there is no user password ?).. any ideas ?

Cheers,
