Title:
  ssh-add: Error reading response length from authentication socket.

Status in GNOME keyring services:
  Confirmed
Status in gnome-keyring package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in gnome-keyring package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  ssh-add seems not to work with the confirmation (-c) option.  Trying
  to require that identities be subject to confirmation when used brings
  up the error "Error reading response length from authentication
  socket. "

   $ ssh-add -c /home/user/.ssh/key_rsa 
   Enter passphrase for /home/user/.ssh/key_rsa: 
   Error reading response length from authentication socket.
   Could not add identity: /home/user/.ssh/key_rsa

  Addding keys not subject to confirmation when used works as normal:

   $ ssh-add  /home/user/.ssh/key_rsa 
   Enter passphrase for /home/user/.ssh/key_rsa: 
   Identity added: /home/user/.ssh/key_rsa (/home/user/.ssh/key_rsa)
