Package: openssh-client Version: 1:5.5p1-4 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/ssh-keygen Tags: upstream
ssh-keygen should print an error message if it was unable to do its job, and return non-zero. $ wc .ssh/known_hosts 16 48 6900 .ssh/known_hosts $ ssh-keygen -R jidanni.org; echo $? /home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts updated. Original contents retained as /home/jidanni/.ssh/known_hosts.old 0 $ wc .ssh/known_hosts 16 48 6900 .ssh/known_hosts Just like rm does, $ rm zzz; echo $? rm: cannot remove `zzz': No such file or directory 1 Or the ssh-keygen man page should document at -R, that that is intentional. Also there should be a way to not just remove it, but instead update it, all in one step. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
