Details

When opening a connection with ssh, ssh complains about missing private key files:

# ssh SOMEHOST
no such identity: /root/.ssh/id_rsa: No such file or directory
no such identity: /root/.ssh/id_dsa: No such file or directory
no such identity: /root/.ssh/id_ecdsa: No such file or directory

If only a DSA key is present, but no RSA key, it only prints the first line and then connects.

This is not an error and thus the message should not be shown unless high verbosity is enabled.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  not worth patching our Arch PKGBUILD for

This warning message is harmless. It should probably not be output unless in verbose/debugging mode, but it certainly is not worth patching our PKGBUILD for. Could you report it upstream? There are apparently some issues on Cygwin with 6.2p1, so a bugfix release could be coming soon.

Do you know where upstream tracks their bugs?

As workaround you can set log verbosity in ~/.ssh/config with LogLevel option. I've added line 'LogLevel ERROR' and those warnings don't appear (man ssh_config for available levels).

The upstream bug tracker is: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/
Alternatively, you can post to the ML: openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org

this is plain wrong, of course, but i got rid of that notice by renaming id_dsa to id_rsa temporarily.
