[Bug 535123] [NEW] Lucid: Recent update to ssh mean ssh-askpass-gnome fails to recognize the correct password

[mabawsa]

Public bug reported:

Today I upgraded the ssh client and loging in on the ssh-askpass-gnome package no longer works. It seems to reject the password every time.
It works using the terminal, remmina and the using the ssh-askpass

My connection options which worked  today (and still work using the terminal and ssh-askpass) are:
ssh -c arcfour,blowfish-cbc -X -f -o 'Compression=no' -L XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX username at XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

Thanks in advance
