gnome keyring with ssh-agend breaks pubkey login

[gilinko]

Binary package hint: gnome-keyring

The gnome-keyring part of adding ssh-agent is breaking existing pubkey logins. After both an upgrade to 9.10 and a fresh install of 9.10 this error persists.

Trying to login to a server with ssh, the id_rsa key isn't decoded properly and the connection defaults back other authentication abilities, if they exists. The server experiences a "RSA_public_decrypt failed:" error, and this is independent of the server version. After the ssh-agent has been disabled from gnome-keyring and started manually the pubkey ssh login works again.

This error has been reported on both redhat,debian and gnome bugtrackers and fixed, but somehow not in the latest ubuntu release.

This fix removes the error(ie by removing ssh-agent from the gnome-keyring)

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

The issue you are having is probably a different one if it still doesn't work in karmic
