Package: apt Version: 0.7.25.3 Severity: normal When using an ssh:// apt source, apt-get behaviour is a little awkward - the prompt for the passphrase gets hidden in the apt output but does work, except if the particular SSH key does not actually use a passphrase. apt halts, asking for the passphrase and refuses to accept 'Enter', printing a "Permission denied: please try again" error. apt appears to be only accepting the real login password when the SSH key passphrase is empty. (i.e. with an empty passphrase, apt falls back to the configured login) - this will fail if the remote server is configured to allow only SSH login. -- Package-specific info: -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- (The specific SSH apt source used is not public.) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2009.01.31 GnuPG archive keys of the Debian a ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.4-7 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.4.4-7 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 apt recommends no packages. apt suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
