libpam_ssh: openssh embedded code update: ecdsa: key_load_private: invalid format



Hello List,

as maintainer of the Debian package libpam_ssh [1], I am updating its embedded openssh code
to version 6.7p1. So far so good, or quite good: a the testing stage, it appears that ecdsa keys
failed: I get the error message emitted from the embedded openssh6.7p1 code:

error: key_load_private: invalid format

On the other hand, I can add the involved key via ssh-add without trouble.
My first guess is that some patch for the Debian openssh-6.7p1 fix this issue,
but so far I cannot figure out which one and even whether or not the guess is right:
hence my email to this list.

Any hint is welcome.
Best regards,
Jerome
