Public bug reported:

It appears that ed25519 keys cannot be added to the key ring.  When an
attempt is made to add an ed25519 or ecdsa key, a message "Error reading
response length from authentication socket." is given.  The keyring
accepts RSA keys, it should accept the other types of keys as well.
