unable to connect to SSH host server

[dlebauer]

same as https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/593149 ?

Until today, I have been able to use `bzr pull server:path/to/trunk`, but today I get an error:

    Unable to connect to SSH host server; EOF during negotiation

It is not clear why this error occurs, but this is the traceback from `~/.bzr.log`

Hi,

This means that the server is dropping the connection. From what you've posted, bzr doesn't know why this is happening. Have a look in auth.log on the server, or see if you can run just 'ssh -v server'.

sorry about reporting this - it is not a bug. The problem was that I had added "alias bzr status='bzr status -V" to my .bashrc on the server.
