[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Debian Bug #805879 : libpam-sshauth dropped support for publickey authentication

[Eric Desrochers]

Good day,

I opened a Debian bug on 23 Nov 2015 for libpam-sshauth [1] and provided a patch [2] but haven't get any feedback or comment yet.
Would it be possible for you to have a look at my bug and see if we can patch the Debian package ? This is my first Debian bug so feel free to tell me if something is missing in the bug.

Description:
libpam-sshauth used to support publickey authentication with ssh-agent but new version shipped has dropped this feature; which is related to upstream author (ltsp-upstream) switching to using libssh2 (was using libssh before).

A patch (Revision #108) has been approved/merged upstream by the lts-upstream[3]
