Bug#620031: Subject: unison-gtk: Ceased asking for SSH password

[Torsten Crass]

Stéphane,

thanks for the quick reply -- I'm "glad" this turned out to be a real 
bug and not just me being too stupid to properly use unison-gtk... ;)



I've put openssh maintainers in CC, maybe they'll have an idea.


Any reaction from the openssh guys yet?

Regards --

Torsten

unison-gtk still works when no terminal interaction is involved (e.g. 
when you use an agent).



After a recent upgrade, unison-gtk ceased asking for a password when
selecting an ssh-based synchronization profile from the list [...]


In a clean wheezy chroot, unison-gtk still asks for a password. After 
upgrading everything but openssh-client (1:5.5p1-6 -> 1:5.8p1-3), this 
feature stops working.



[...]
BTW, it does not make any difference whether or not ssh-askpass is
installed. [...]


Well... unison implements its own terminal interaction and doesn't use 
ssh-askpass. Somehow, this interaction is broken with the new version of 
openssh-client.



Any ideas?


I've put openssh maintainers in CC, maybe they'll have an idea. For 
information, unison works by allocating a new terminal, running ssh in 
it, and waiting for ssh output (in an expect-like fashion, see 
terminal.ml in unison sources). When launched manually, messages are the 
same with both versions of ssh, but unison doesn't detect ssh prompts 
when it launches ssh itself.



Cheers,

Bug#620031: Subject: unison-gtk: Ceased asking for SSH password

[Torsten Crass]

Package: unison-gtk
Version: 2.32.52-2
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave

*** Please type your report below this line ***

After a recent upgrade, unison-gtk ceased asking for a password when
selecting an ssh-based synchronization profile from the list (with, say,
Root1 being /home/tcrass and Root2 something like 
ssh://arrakis/home/tcrass).
On cklicking [OK], The profile selection dialog vanishes, but nothing 
else seems to happen

after that.

When running unision-gtk with the -debug all option, I get the following
output:

[startup] Preferences:
ui = graphic
 ... (lots of preferences) ...
debug = all
addprefsto = common.prefs
[remote] Shell connection: ssh (ssh, arrakis, -e, none, unison, -server)

...and that is where the application hangs.

BTW, it does not make any difference whether or not ssh-askpass is
installed.

And yes, the remote machine is accessible via ssh.

Any ideas?
