I don't know if I should refer this bug to net-libs/libssh-0.4.8 or kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves-4.4.5. Trying to access remote files via sftp, when using key authentication, kioslaves fails with a very short message ("Error: Out of memory"). I've the same issue on both home and work desktops. On the contrary, in case of traditional username/password authentication I don't have any problem. As a workaround, I masked =net-libs/libssh-0.4.8 and everything goes fine now (libssh-0.4.1). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge net-libs/libssh-0.4.8 and kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves-4.4.5 (and the whole KDE, obvious) 2. Activate a key authentication in some remote host 3. In a terminal, write 'kioclient copy sftp://your.remote.host/some/file ./' Actual Results: Error: Out of memory Expected Results: A file transferred to my local host A similar problem is told here: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?t=85796, but I cannot recognize my issue in those stories. A possible explanation is given here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/faq.html#faq-outofmem Downgrading to libssh-0-4.1 is a positive workaround.

I experienced this problem too. After I rebuild kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves, sftp start work again.
That's true. Rebuilding kioslaves resolved for me too (at home). I will investigate at my work desktop... Regards, Sergio
Confirmed, rebuilding kdebase-kioslaves solves this problem. I guess the ABI has changed while SONAME didn't. So revdep-rebuild didn't raise anything :(
There's not much we can do here, sorry. :( Resolving since libssh-0.4.8 is now stable for nearly two months.
