Bug#620031: Subject: unison-gtk: Ceased asking for SSH password
Package: unison-gtk
Version: 2.32.52-2
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave
*** Please type your report below this line ***
After a recent upgrade, unison-gtk ceased asking for a password when
selecting an ssh-based synchronization profile from the list (with, say,
Root1 being /home/tcrass and Root2 something like
ssh://arrakis/home/tcrass).
On cklicking [OK], The profile selection dialog vanishes, but nothing
else seems to happen
after that.
When running unision-gtk with the -debug all option, I get the following
output:
[startup] Preferences:
ui = graphic
... (lots of preferences) ...
debug = all
addprefsto = common.prefs
[remote] Shell connection: ssh (ssh, arrakis, -e, none, unison, -server)
...and that is where the application hangs.
BTW, it does not make any difference whether or not ssh-askpass is
installed.
And yes, the remote machine is accessible via ssh.
Any ideas?
