A bit more info because this bug came up again for me. It was mentioned that this was working OK in Trusty, so I assume that openssh 6.6 was being used there, and that when the upgrade to openssh 7.x happened this issue started happening. I agree that the tool itself could be more helpful in its output, but this deprecation has been documented in the release notes:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes/#OpenSSH_7.2p2 I looked at upstream's bugzilla and could not find any bugs requesting a more verbose output from the tool. I still believe this bug should be dealt with by upstream, and we can follow their lead. Keeping as Low priority (and I consider that the priority will only get lower, given that people will forcefully start migrating away from DSA). BTW, I confirmed that this issue still applies to Jammy. ** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1764044 Title: ssh-add asks about passphrases for keys already unlocked in the keychain To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1764044/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
