Description

Observation

On Leap 15.4, with python-paramiko 2.4.2-150100.6.12.1, following occurs in mtui:

This seems to be a known issue, and is resolved in paramiko 2.5.1. As usage of ed25519 keys is not that common it seems to affect only me, as a workaround paramiko from Tumbleweed can be linked into QA:Maintenance project in IBS

Same problem in Leap 15.3 as paramiko was last updated in 15-SP1.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: Problem has been reported to the package maintainer
  • AC2: mtui works again

Suggestions

Maintenance Update of paramiko in SLE -> Leap

Link new paramiko and its deps in QA:Maintenance project

looks like bug in paramiko fixed in 2.5 series, on SLE/Leap is paramiko 2.4.2

Solutions:

  1. Maintenance Update of paramiko in SLE -> Leap
  2. Link new paramiko and its deps in QA:Maintenance project

we could handle that by reporting a bug for Leap and block on that

For start, I submitted version 2.6.0 to QA:Maintenance/python-paramiko. For 15.4 (and SLES 15-SP4), the build succeeded so testers should be able to use mtui with a newer (but still ancient) version of paramiko. I also created https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1200603 to describe the issue with paramiko and suggested the update.

2.6.0 is ancient but still specfile isn't compactible with 15.3 :D --> if any user hit this problem on 15.3 recommendation will be upgrade to last supported distribution and use QA:Maintenance paramiko

I would probably took ages so I spared some time to create update to 2.4.3 myself. If nothing explodes in S:M:26222:281282, mtui should be usable without QA:Maintenance/python-paramiko in Leap.

Update was released and the new paramiko version is already being used (according to the test reports). Mtui should now work even with weird keys on Leap without paramiko from QA:Maintenance repository.
