Description Tad 2024-10-20 17:04:08 UTC 
I noticed this when virt-manager kept trying to invoke ksshaskpass instead of openssh-askpass as previously on f40 because /etc/profile.d/kde-openssh-askpass.sh exists and overrides it

/etc/profile.d/kde-openssh-askpass.sh should only be available in the ksshaskpass package

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect to a remote libvirt instance via ssh that should prompt interactive keyboard usage
Actual Results:  
it fails and only tries to open ksshaskpass, the KDE one even though I'm on GNOME and virt-manager is GTK and ksshaskpass isn't installed

Expected Results:  
have it run the correct askpass helper to input response

using version virt-manager-4.1.0-9.fc41.src.rpm

this worked previously on f37/f38/f39/f40
Comment 1 alex 2025-03-22 23:35:37 UTC 
On my GNOME system, kde-settings is installed because kf5-kconfig-core depends on it and LibreOffice indirectly depends on kf5-kconfig-core.
Comment 2 Olivier Samyn 2025-06-02 09:30:53 UTC 
Same problem here on F42.
/etc/profile.d/kde-openssh-askpass.sh should probably be part of the ksshaskpass package instead of kde-settings.
