+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1260742 +++

Description of problem:

When using libreport-plugin-reportuploader, looks like CURL requires the public SSH key even if there is no need for it.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libreport-plugin-reportuploader-2.0.9-24.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure libreport-plugin-reportuploader to scp dumps with ssh keys
2. Configure only the private key
3. Kaboom

Actual results:

Locked '.lock'

curl_easy_perform: error 67
curl_easy_perform: error_msg: curl_easy_perform: Login denied

Expected results:

The upload should be done even without the public key.

It looks like that curl tries really hard to set the path to public key and I am afraid that it is not possible to prevent libcurl from doing so:

curl-7.19.7/lib/ssh.c

      home = curl_getenv("HOME");                                                
                                                                                 
      if(data->set.str[STRING_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY])                                   
        sshc->rsa_pub = aprintf("%s", data->set.str[STRING_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY]);     
      else if(home)                                                              
        sshc->rsa_pub = aprintf("%s/.ssh/id_dsa.pub", home);                     
      else                                                                       
        /* as a final resort, try current dir! */                                
        sshc->rsa_pub = strdup("id_dsa.pub"); 

libreport does not explicitly specify the public key path, so libcurl should not use it:

curl-7.45.0/lib/ssh.c

        if(data->set.str[STRING_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY]) {                               
          sshc->rsa_pub = strdup(data->set.str[STRING_SSH_PUBLIC_KEY]);          
          if(!sshc->rsa_pub)                                                     
            out_of_memory = TRUE;                                                
        }

We need the following upstream patch, which is not yet included in RHEL-7:
