scp1 reports ssh1 is not supported

[Corben]

For getting ssh protocol 1 support I installed the package openssh-client-ssh1.
This works with .ssh/config host entries, when omitting any "Protocol 1" lines, but calling "ssh1 -1 host".
This package also has the command scp1 included, but this command doesn't have ssh protocol 1 support:

Is the ssh protocol 1 support not included for scp1 during compile time?

Yes, that's a bug in the version that shipped with xenial, fixed later in 1:7.2p2-6 (so fixed in yakkety). You can work around it using "scp1 -S /usr/bin/ssh1 -1".

(i.e. the problem is that scp1 is trying to use /usr/bin/ssh rather than /usr/bin/ssh1)

Xenial is now in Extended Security Maintenance and this bug doesn't qualify for it, so this bug won't be fixed in that release.
