** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Triaged

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: openssh-client
  
  This is a minor issue, but if you attempt to copy a non-existent file to
  an existing host, scp fails to detect this basic issue until *after* you
  have been prompted for the remote systems password.
  
  Steps to recreate:
  
  1. scp this_file_does_not_exist localhost:/tmp
  2. enter your password for localhost
  3. observe the error:
  
  > scp this_file_does_not_exist localhost:/tmp
- user@localhost's password: 
+ user@localhost's password:
  this_file_does_not_exist: No such file or directory
- > 
+ >
  
  This is with feisty (openssh-client version 4.3p2-8ubuntu1).
  
  Thanks for reading!
+ 
+ LAST VERSION TESTED: openssh-client 1:5.5p1-4ubuntu4 (Maverick)
