Package: openssh-client Version: 1:6.0p1-4 If you have a public key file eg ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub, but no corresponding private key file, ssh(1) will offer the key to the server, and if it is then accepted will silently forget about the attempt to use it and carry on trying other authentication methods. Even -v doesn't help.
If it is not expected that a private key would be missing, then the appropriate response involves at the very least a complaint to stderr. And even if it is expected, the -v output should mention why the key is not being used despite being accepted.
