@ Bit Twister,

You assigned this report to openssh-askpass-common, do you mind explaining why? I understand nothing about how alternatives are set.

Anyway, assigning to the registered openssh maintainer (since openssh-askpass-common is provided by the openssh SRPM)

CC: (none) => marja11
Source RPM: openssh-askpass-common => openssh-7.6p1-2.mga7

Just a wild guess on my part. Tried looking up the alternatives but received a not owned by any package. So, did a locate askpass and saw cvs/seahorse/git/gcrbssh/bssh/ssh so I picked common.

The problem is in package seahorse, because those executables changed location, but the post-install scripts have not been modified accordingly. I just fixed it in seahorse-3.29.91-2.mga7.
