Description Caleb Cushing 2008-05-31 21:58:34 UTC

I'm not actually sure what's happening. I updated openssl and now I can't push to github.

this is the error.

buffer_get_ret: trying to get more bytes 4 than in buffer 0
buffer_get_int: buffer error
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I've tried rebuilding git and openssh with no luck. I tried reading the ssh key with open ssl and it generates a read error.

openssl rsa -noout -check -in .ssh/id_rsa
Enter pass phrase for .ssh/id_rsa:
unable to load Private Key
623:error:06065064:digital envelope routines:EVP_DecryptFinal_ex:bad decrypt:evp             _enc.c:461:
623:error:0906A065:PEM routines:PEM_do_header:bad decrypt:pem_lib.c:425:

the key worked fine a couple of days ago. I tried generating a new key and that also failed.

Reproducible: Always

additional note. revdep-rebuild finds no inconsistencies.

I just realized this need clarification. I was able to generate a new key, however the problem is still present on the new key.

this doesn't affect my root user.

can you verify that downgrading to 0.9.8g-r1 fixes things ?

Comment 6 Caleb Cushing 2008-06-02 17:39:40 UTC

the openssl upgrade was a coincidense, I just so happened to notice the problem after the upgrade, which led me to assume it was related. I think the problem was in one of my .ssh file. I believe deleting .ssh resolved it. either that or it was related to ssh-agent. my apologies.
