I need to connect to various old hardware using ssh protocol 1, but it is abolished in the latest ssh client on opensuse 15 (would feel bad to downgrade back to 42.3 just because of that), so I decided to compile the ssh package from source and got unexpected troubles right from the start. The thing is, the repos are missing at least one dependency for the openssh-7.6p1.tar.gz package and one dependency seems broken in some way:
thinpad:/usr/src/packages # rpmbuild -bp /usr/src/packages/SPECS/openssh.spec
error: Failed build dependencies:
krb5-mini-devel is needed by openssh-7.6p1-lp150.7.4.x86_64
pkgconfig(libsystemd) is needed by openssh-7.6p1-lp150.7.4.x86_64
The krb5-mini is nowhere to be found, but I think it was there in the repos for older opensuse releases. The pkgconfig package is actually installed, but failes to be resolved:
S | Name | Summary | Type

Can anyone suggest anything? Apart from upgrading the old hardware, that is
I might be doing something terribly wrong.
I downloaded the krb5-mini-devel package from that ftp, but it required krb5-mini be installed:
thinpad:/home/jin/Downloads # rpm -i krb5-mini-devel-1.12.1-19.2.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
krb5-mini = 1.12.1 is needed by krb5-mini-devel-1.12.1-19.2.x86_64
thinpad:/home/jin/Downloads # rpm -i krb5-mini-1.12.1-19.2.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
krb5 conflicts with krb5-mini-1.12.1-19.2.x86_64
krb5-mini conflicts with (installed) krb5-1.15.2-lp150.4.4.x86_64
thinpad:/home/jin/Downloads #
But krb5-mini conflicts with the native krb5 package which is the dependency for another 920 packages:

So, this is actually leading me to thinking that I should not remove the native krb5 package or install the krb5-mini package forcefully (possibly breaking the installation). But how come OpenSuSE 15 ships with a source package for openssh that is incompatible with the existing libs? The source package and the binary one are of the exactly same version, but the source one depends on the libraries not even present in the repos.

Repository : openSUSE-Leap-15.0-Source
Name : openssh
Version : 7.6p1-lp150.7.4
Arch : noarch
Vendor : openSUSE
Summary : Secure Shell Client and Server (Remote Login Program)
Description :
SSH (Secure Shell) is a program for logging into and executing commands
on a remote machine. It is intended to replace rsh (rlogin and rsh) and
provides openssl (secure encrypted communication) between two untrusted
hosts over an insecure network.
xorg-x11 (X Window System) connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can
also be forwarded over the secure channel.

And there’s still the other problem: the pkgconfig(systemd) dependency of openssh should be satisfied with pkg-config, but clearly isn’t. Maybe I downloaded the wrong source package? Is there something wrong with my repos config?
In situations like this,
I create an special build system, for example maybe in your case a LEAP 42.1… Likely installed in a virtual machine unless the app being built needed access to real-mode hardware and then it’d be a question whether hardware pass-through was an option.
That way,
You won’t have conflicting dependencies like what you’re describing.

Hi
How often are you connecting to said old hardware? Is this local or
remote hardware? If not often, then I would look at a live JeOS release
of something (or use Studio Express) and just boot that up. Or a docker
container?
