I bet you don't have xbase-clients installed on the remote system.

No, they aren't.

You shouldn't do it like that. This is a common mistake, but it breaks
the scp protocol. Guard the debug message such that it only gets
displayed for interactive shells, something like this:
case $- in
*i*)
echo 'executing /etc/bash.bashrc'
# other interactive stuff goes here, if you want
;;
esac

You installed them both, probably. ;)

ssh2 wasn't properly maintained for a long time, is non-free, and has
been removed from Debian. 'dpkg --purge ssh2' is probably what you want.
