Description:
since the seahorse is listed as providing x11-ssh-askpass, it should also be linked in needed locations. first came across this when I tried to connect to a kvm host via virt-manager but it found no askpass application. a simple "ln -s /usr/lib/seahorse/ssh-askpass /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-askpass" resolved the issua, but this should be changed in the package. Additional info: * package version(s) seahorse 1:42.0-1 * config and/or log files etc. virt-manager complains about not finding /usr/lib/ssh/ssh-askpass * link to upstream bug report, if any years ago but closed: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/seahorse/-/issues/293 Steps to reproduce: install the seahorse package and try to connect to a kvm host via virt-manager |
This task depends upon

But that will then conflict with x11-ssh-askpass. No dice.
Anyway, isn't this what SSH_ASKPASS is for? Also, it's kinda covered in the wiki [1]. Does using that method work?

Will test if this is enough for virt-manager.
