[Bug 1511904] [NEW] Unison unable to connect due to missing prf file

 

Public bug reported:

I can SSH into the remote machine. I have the remote machine mounted as
a folder in Nautilus. I have the same version of Unison installed on
both my local and remote machine. However, Unison is unable to connect
to the target machine via SSH or "Local", complaining:

    Uncaught exception
Sys_error("/home/myuser/.unison/myuser@remotehost/home/myuser.prf: No
such file or directory")'

This error message is completely unhelpful and doesn't explain why this
file would be needed, nor how I should create it.
