Bug#682050: fails to connect to server using non default port

[Lars Noschinski]

I agree with Josh's assessment. As I noted in 668239, different host
keys for different ports on the same server are clearly documented in
the OpenSSH man page. Hence, the assessment in the initial bugreport and
hostkey.patch are clearly wrong. I tested dropping hostkey.patch and
this makes paramiko work again with non-standard port settings.

Maybe the problem described in the original report is due to the
behaviour mentioned in http://lwn.net/Articles/222649/? [See also
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=910]. This fallback
behaviour seems to be not present in paramiko and is not adressed by the
current patch.

So can we get a new version with the wrong patch reverted? It makes the
situation worse than before.

Bug#682050: fails to connect to server using non default port

[Jeremy T. Bouse]

I would tend to agree with your assessment of the situation. I need to
go back and evaluate it all as I wasn't the one that added the patch, it
was done by an NMU without my involvement which is why I dislike NMUs
being done on my packages as they tend to introduce more issues than solve.

 As far as I can tell, no original issue exists.  Bug 668239 seems to
 complain that paramiko distinguishes between host keys for different
 ports on the same server.  That's not a bug, that's a feature, and
 removing it results in this bug.  The correct fix (which I've just
 tested) involves dropping hostkey.patch entirely.
