Public bug reported:
Previously I had been using ssh-add with ECDSA keys. (OpenSSH_6.6.1p1
Ubuntu-2ubuntu2, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014)
After my system updated to gnome-keyring 3.10.1-1ubuntu4.1 (picking up the fix
for #1271591) they stopped working:
wry@onyx:~$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa
Enter passphrase for /home/wry/.ssh/id_ecdsa:
Error reading response length from authentication socket.
Could not add identity: /home/wry/.ssh/id_ecdsa
Downgrading to gnome-keyring 3.10.1-1ubuntu4 resolves the issue.
This appears to be because gnome-keyring does not support ECDSA.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641082 refers.
This means that the fix for #1271591 is an overall system regression for
anybody who uses ECDSA keys.
