Details

Description:


`/usr/lib/john/ssh2john.py` and a lot of python-based john-the-ripper script should be correct symlinked. Instead symlink all `*2john.py` directly as this: `/usr/bin/*2john -> john`, they are not the same thing, with `*2john.py`, you can convert the key you want to crack to the hash that john-the-ripper finally accepted.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

Name : john
Version : 1.9.0.jumbo1-1
Description : John the Ripper password cracker
Architecture : x86_64


* config and/or log files etc.

Nothing

* link to upstream bug report, if any

https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/issues/3231

Steps to reproduce:

```
$ ssh2john ./id_rsa.encrypted > sshkeyhash
No password hashes loaded (see FAQ)
```

The correct symlink should be: `/usr/lib/*2john.(py|pl) <-
/usr/bin/*2john` with correct permission
