Bug#99785: openssh-client: simple workaround to the missing ssh-copy-id -p

[Mattia Monga <monga@debian.org>]

Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.7p1-5
Followup-For: Bug #99785


A simple workaround to set the port number is the use of quotes

$ ssh-copy-id '-p 12345 user@machine'

It should work with any of the parameters of ssh.

Otherwise you could apply the patch attached to bug #431731

Cheers,
