Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

This sounds reasonable. ssh-copy-id should not be making any assumptions
about the user's default shell on the remote machine. It might be better
for it to call sh explicitly, since sh (compatibility) is more
universally availability.

** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Medium

** Summary changed:

- ssh-copy-id does not work with fish on the other machine
+ ssh-copy-id fails by making assumptions about the default shell on the remote machine

Title:
  ssh-copy-id fails by making assumptions about the default shell on the
  remote machine

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  ssh-copy-id  10.200.17.160
  /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed
  /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are prompted now it is to install the new keys
  foo@10.200.17.160's password: 
  fish: Expected a command name, got token of type “Run job in background”. Did you mean “COMMAND; and COMMAND”? See the help section for the “and” builtin command by typing “help and”.
  Standard input: 		mkdir -p .ssh && cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys || exit 1 ;
                                                 ^

  I expected to be able to copy my key.

  An approach I see is for ssh-copy-id to run bash -c ....
