ssh_keygen : command not found



I hesitate to trouble the list with this but, when trying to generate a key pair on a (lenny) system recently upgraded to wheezy, 7.7, I am seeing this:

ron@d7server:~$ ssh-keygen
-bash: ssh_keygen : command not found
ron@d7server:~$

Aptitude says that openssh-client, version 1:6.0p1-4+deb7 is installed and, from its description, includes the ssh-keygen utility.

~/.ssh exists, and does not contain a key pair. It does contain an authorized keys file.

Openssh-server is installed and runs, allowing remote login via rsa key.

Nothing in wiki suggests that ssh-keygen is not the correct command, nor do the man pages, in fact all the documents seem to suggest it should run.

Maybe I could check it is actually present. Where does ssh-keygen live in the machine?

I can't think what else to try, and would be grateful for any suggestions. (Don't hold back, I don't doubt I've done something stupid :( )

regards, Ron
