Bug#616610: openssh-client: ssh config does not like IPv6 link local address as hostname anymore (worked before today's update)

[Linus Lüssing <linus.luessing@web.de>]

Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:5.8p1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: sid ipv6

Hi everyone,

I did an aptitude full-upgrade today and since then an IPv6
specific functionality does not work anymore. I'm having an IPv6 link
local address in my ssh config file for a hostname:

########## ~/.ssh/config ###########
[...]
Host vm1
	Hostname fe80::4:64ff:fea4:39b1%br0
	User mesh-node
	StrictHostKeyChecking no
	IdentityFile ~/.ssh/vm_rsa
[...]
####################################

Since 1:5.8p1-2 I get the following error message:
	$ ssh vm1
	percent_expand: unknown key %b


This worked fine with openssh-client 1:5.5p1-6 before.

Cheers, Linus
