Greeting patch-tag-users. Before anything I ask pardon for my english

I created a new repo (called subtitleParser) everything fine, I
uploaded my
ssh-key and added it to my ssh-agent.

But when I try to push code to the patch-tag repo I'm being asked for
a password
which is neither my patch-tag user password nor my ssh-key phrase. The
same
happens when I try to do a "darcs get" on /tmp.

I am using darcs 2.8.2 compiled from cabal (also tested with darcs
2.5.2 from
archlinux's server.

Here is the typical output
--------------------------------------------------
slack@Soul> ls
LICENSE Text/ _darcs/
slack@Soul> darcs push rube...@patch-tag.com:/r/rubenAst/
subtitleParser
Password:
Password:
Password:

Password:
Password:
withSignalsHandled: Interrupted!
--------------------------------------------------

Anyone with the same problem?

Yep, this happens to me from time to time.

from: http://patch-tag.com/h/troubleshoot-wiki-browsing

"Trouble Pulling

Does patch-tag keep asking for a password when you are pulling a repo
where you know you are a repo user?
Try doing a fresh darcs get in a new directory (eg /tmp). "

Hope this helps.

Oddly enough this happens me even in /tmp or any directory when I do a "darcs
get". the thing is that I don't if I don't have darcs configured incorrectly or
is a patch-tag problem.

It'd help if somebody says that got the same problem. but if this is something
temporal I'll report it in this thread.

Fixed the problem was that I was using a ecdsa key for ssh. when i switched to a
rsa-based one I could push and get.

Is this considered a bug? that they key *needs* to be a rsa key instead of
anyone supported by openssh?
