Package: dput-ng Version: 1.4 Severity: minor We have a couple of local Debian repositories that accept uploads via scp. The dput-ng documentation says that scp is deprecated and sftp should be used instead. Since the server is just running OpenSSH and supports both, I tried making that change. Unfortunately, it didn't work:
Logging into host genesis.stanford.edu as rra please login: To accept ssh-rsa hostkey 679169c29d094978d9cce1e9be27e109 for genesis.stanford.edu type "yes": [yes, no]: yes Failed to auth. Prompting for a login pair. please login: Username: This output indicates that dput, rather than wrapping the sftp binary (understandably), is apparently using some other ssh protocol reimplemntation. Unfortunately, that implementation seems to assume that all the world uses public keys or passwords. Our ssh servers only accept GSS-API authentication (a not-uncommon configuration for sites already using Kerberos), which means the sftp method isn't usable. The scp method, which presumably just calls out to the scp binary, works fine, so for the time being I'll just keep using that. Please don't remove it entirely until the sftp method supports GSS-API. :) -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dput-ng depends on: ii python 2.7.3-4 ii python-dput 1.4 Versions of packages dput-ng recommends: ii bash-completion 1:2.0-1 dput-ng suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
