Hello,

Is there a way to know from which repo a package come ?

I ask because I had sl-contrib enabled from the begining
without any problem. But today afer the last yum  update
ssh was not working with messages like:

buffer_append_space: len 5 not supported
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)

#### rabeson:{root}:/var/log > service sshd restart
Stopping sshd:                                             [FAILED]
Starting sshd:buffer_append_space: len 1 not supported

I spent a little time to understand this openssh.i386 3.9p1-8.SL.4.21
came from sl-contrib and not sl-errata

Strange enough is that I had this problem only on my laptop
(i386 SL4.1) and not on my home PC (x86_64 SL4.4) which still has :
openssh-3.9p1-8.SL.4.20

On may 10 I also have a "strange" update which "installed"
ati-fglrx.i686 8.18.6.1-0.SL.1 (I have a nvidia card !) 
apparently from the same sl-contrib repo:
