someone wrote in 2021 (is not recent information):
    The installed “ssh-askpass” is actually a script, which should call
“ksshaskpass” if you are running KDE. Otherwise it calls “gnome-ssk-askpass”. 

In https://packages.debian.org/en/sid/ksshaskpass I could read:
    interactively prompt users for a passphrase for ssh-add

    A front-end for ssh-add which stores the password of the ssh-key in
KWallet. 

In https://packages.debian.org/en/sid/ssh-askpass-gnome I could read:
    interactive X program to prompt users for a passphrase for ssh-add

    This has been split out of the main openssh-client package so that
openssh-client does not need to depend on GTK+.
so it looks like Krusader should not depend on "ksshaskpass" nor
"ssh-askpass-gnome" nor a similar program.

I've tried Opensuse Tumbleweed and there was no "/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-askpass" but
a "/usr/libexec/ssh/ssh-askpass", I've tried Kubuntu 25.04 and those files
weren't found, although there was a "/usr/bin/ssh-askpass".

Using Kubuntu 25.04: if I go to Krusader, edit the "Edit as root" useraction
and replace `SUDO_ASKPASS=/usr/bin/ssh-askpass` with
`SUDO_ASKPASS="$SSH_ASKPASS"` and then I try to "Edit as root"... everything
seems to work.

Would you like to perform the same replacement, delete the symlink in
`/usr/bin/` that you created, and tell us if "Edit as root" works for you then?
