Hei hei, 

because of the security fixes I tried upgrading the dropbear package in
ptxdist and this fails. Let me explain how.

ptxdist compiles dropbear with `make all scp` and installs with `make
install inst_scp`. Usually we use a cross compiler for ARMv5 but I can
reproduce this behaviour when compiling on Debian Wheezy (amd64), too.
See:

The failing stage is the install stage, see the output from my Debian
machine:

% LANG=C DESTDIR=~/compiled/dropbear-2013.59 make install inst_scp
install -d /home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/sbin
install dropbear /home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/sbin
install -d
/home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/usr/local/share/man/man8
install -m 644 dropbear.8 
/home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/usr/local/share/man/man8/dropbear.8
install -d /home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/bin
install dbclient /home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/bin
install -d
/home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/usr/local/share/man/man1
install -m 644 dbclient.1 
/home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/usr/local/share/man/man1/dbclient.1
install -d /home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/bin
install dropbearkey /home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/bin
install -d
/home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/usr/local/share/man/man1
install -m 644 dropbearkey.1 
/home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/usr/local/share/man/man1/dropbearkey.1
install -d /home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/bin
install dropbearconvert /home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/bin
install -d
/home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/usr/local/share/man/man1
install -m 644 dropbearconvert.1 
/home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/usr/local/share/man/man1/dropbearconvert.1
install -d /home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/bin
install scp /home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/bin
install -d
/home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/usr/local/share/man/man1
install -m 644 scp.1 
/home/adahl/compiled/dropbear-2013.59/usr/local/share/man/man1/scp.1
install: cannot stat `scp.1': No such file or directory
make: *** [inst_scp] Error 1

2013.58 works so I guess this behaviour was accidently introduced
between 2013.58 and 2013.59. I'm not familiar with autotools, so could
you give me a hint how to fix this?
