[Bug 1764743] Re: ssh asks for passphrase

[Xavier Claessens]

Ok, I understood what's going on here! I had many ssh private keys and
some of them have length <1024 but my main one is 2048. ssh-add doesn't
add any key just because one of them is unsafe. I removed old keys and
the problem is fixed.

I guess this is an upstream bug and not Ubuntu.

Title:
  ssh asks for passphrase

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Every time I open gnome-terminal to connect to a remote host using
  ssh, it's asking me the passphrase of my ssh key. It was working fine
  on both my laptops (Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.10) and stopped working on
  both after the upgrade to 18.04.
