Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: seahorse
Seahorse has a very useful feature to automatically copy your public ssh-key to
a remote machine so you can login using that key later on.
There is one assumption seahorse makes that is not always true though: when
ssh'ing to the remote machine to place the public key there, it assumes the
current directory is your home directory, and tries to do stuff with
.ssh/authorized_keys there.
On one of the machines I frequently use, I'm not in my homedir after
ssh'ing there. Seahorse tries to access .ssh/authorized_keys and fails,
because the current directory is /data. I think Seahorse should not rely
on the current directory being $HOME, but explicitely make it so as the
first command to be run remotely.
I have attached a screenshot of the errormessage I received.
