[DRE-maint] Bug#675946: ruby-net-ssh: known_hosts.rb:117:in `keys_for': uninitialized constant Net::SSH::KnownHosts::SUPPORTED_TYPE (NameError) occurs

[Lars Eric Scheidler]

Package: ruby-net-ssh
Version: 1:2.5.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Following error occurs, when I try to use the net-ssh library for ruby:

/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/net/ssh/known_hosts.rb:117:in `keys_for': uninitialized constant Net::SSH::KnownHosts::SUPPORTED_TYPE (NameError)
    from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/net/ssh/known_hosts.rb:105:in `each_line'

    from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/net/ssh.rb:186:in `new'
    from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/net/ssh.rb:186:in `start'

This seems to be fixed upstream in 2.5.2:
https://github.com/net-ssh/net-ssh/blob/master/CHANGELOG.rdoc

Please upload the new version.
