Bug#712094: /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: 168: [: 1: unexpected operator ; getting this error if server is offline

[Lars Cebulla <lars.cebu@gmail.com>]

Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:6.2p2-3
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id

   * What led up to the situation?

I was trying to upload my ssh-id via "ssh-copy-id -i /home/<my-
username>/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@<my-server-url>". The server was not available /
offline and I got an error like
"/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: 168: [: 1: unexpected operator"

I think this should be handled better, that's not an usefull message.

Thanks !
