Failed to clone repository: Unable to exchange encryption keys

[benjaminbhollon]

This started recently, but every time I try to clone from my password repository I get this error:

Failed to clone repository from ssh://feynman/~/git/passwords to file file://private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/273C16E8-30FE-4A34-B427-9987462E427D/Library/password-store-temp
Underlying Error: failed to start SSH session: Unable to exchange encryption keys

This exact configuration worked previously. I think it stopped after some updates on the server I'm trying to clone from.

Any pointers you have are much appreciated.

I also get a similar error now. „Unable to exchange encryption keys“. Can someone tell what algorithms are now used when connecting via ssh? I’m no swift expert, but might be due to a dependency update.

Might be related to #624

My best guess is that it's an incompatibility between whatever library the app is using and more recent versions of git—or, more likely, ssh—on the server side.

Looking at that issue, I am running NixOS for the server I'm trying to sync to (though I'm using just a bare git repo rather than a frontend like Gitea) so it could definitely be related.

Exactly the same issue for me, also running NixOS on the server. Definitely seems related to the linked issue.
