confusing ui when ssh key is not accepted by launchpad

[Daniel Hahler]

I am quite sure, that this used to work (and therefore regressed with some bzr update):

$ bzr export -Dauth --root=whissip-snapshot-$(date -u +%Y-%m-%d) whissip-snapshot.tgz lp:b2evolution/whissip
Permission denied (publickey).
bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist.

The user in question (a cron user) has a SSH key, but this is apparently not registered in any Launchpad account.

Also, I wonder why "-Dauth" does not produce more output?

$ bzr --version
Bazaar (bzr) 2.1.2
  Python interpreter: /usr/bin/python 2.5.2
  Python standard library: /usr/lib/python2.5
  Platform: Linux-2.6.24-27-openvz-i686-with-debian-lenny-sid
  bzrlib: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bzrlib

As a workaround I am using HOME=/dev/null now.

Does that cron user perhaps have a Launchpad account configured in
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf ?

Cheers,

Yes, indeed.

Given that, it looks like the error could need improvement (pointing out
that a specific user name is being used).

Apart from that, I think it might still make sense falling back to
anonymous access maybe?

-Dauth doesn't tell you anything because we're using an external SSH to connect.

One thing we could do is print "connecting using 'ssh
<email address hidden> ....'"
