dropbear-bin ssh key conversion on Buster
Hello,
I have a Debian Buster installed, with a dropbear SSH server.
The dropbear-bin package, comes with a tool to convert keys fron
OpenSSH. This tool worked on Stretch, but is now broken on Buster.
I tried the Bullseye version, and it is broken too.
For instance, the following command:
> dropbearconvert openssh dropbear \
> /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key \
> /etc/dropbear-initramfs/dropbear_ecdsa_host_key
Produce this error:
> Error: Unrecognised key type
> Error reading key from '/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key'
- Key conversion was working on Stretch.
- I tried RSA keys, and it fails too.
I found some information here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=250512
But the process still fails.
- Does someone has the same issue?
- I am using this to unlock a LUKS encrypted drive over SSH.
Thanks,
André Rodier.
PS: I have filled this bug on Debian too:
