Dear Maintainer, I created a brand new Ed25519 key and tried to add it to the agent, which ends with an error message. (see below) The problem does not occur with a RSA key. The problem occurred on a newly installed Debian Strech with GNOME3. Ed25519: -------- michael@polaris:/tmp/ssh-key$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 Generating public/private ed25519 key pair.
