Package: openssh-client Version: 1:7.9p1-7 Severity: normal Tags: fixed-upstream
Dear Maintainer, There is an issue with the ssh client/ssh-agent that causes RSA CERT based authentication to fail on the initial attempt when using ssh-agent. The problem has been fixed upstream[1] and will be part of the openssh 8.0 release. There is also a patch[2] for openssh 7.9 mentioned in the ticket. I'm hoping this fix can make it into buster.
