Public bug reported: A new error message appeared in 1:8.2p1-4ubuntu0.11, "remote username contains invalid characters".
The underlying commit seems to be this: https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/ba05a7aae989020b8d05cc93cc6200109bba5a7b I need to work with an sftp connection where the username includes "|". The lftp client uses ssh to connect, triggering the error. It's possible to whitelist the username by adding it to a config file (e.g. ~/.ssh/config), but in that case, there's no obvious way to set the password. I suppose this is in fact a feature more than it is a bug, but it is really inconvenient. Any hints on how to handle it would be welcome.
