Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
This sounds reasonable. ssh-copy-id should not be making any assumptions about the user's default shell on the remote machine. It might be better for it to call sh explicitly, since sh (compatibility) is more universally availability. ** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Summary changed: - ssh-copy-id does not work with fish on the other machine + ssh-copy-id fails by making assumptions about the default shell on the remote machine -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493067 Title: ssh-copy-id fails by making assumptions about the default shell on the remote machine Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: ssh-copy-id 10.200.17.160 /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are prompted now it is to install the new keys foo@10.200.17.160's password: fish: Expected a command name, got token of type “Run job in background”.

Standard input: mkdir -p .ssh && cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys || exit 1 ; ^ I expected to be able to copy my key. An approach I see is for ssh-copy-id to run bash -c ....
