Bug#969754: seahorse: Can't parse from= in authorized_keys

[Bill Wohler]

Package: seahorse
Version: 3.36-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: none

I recently started to get messages in /var/log/syslog on bullseye such
as the following that correspond to each line in my
~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. Other lines include multiple from values,
CIDR notation, and wildcards):

    Sep  7 10:57:42 olgas seahorse[44346]: key.vala:268: Key doesn't have a valid type (from="127.0.0.1").

It seems that the author of key.vala needs to become familiar with the
"AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT" section of the sshd man page.
