--- Comment #5 from Joe Honton <joe at joe-honton.com> ---
I can confirm that creating a separate public key file casues the
message to go away.

The command "ssh-keygen -yf /root/.ssh/digital-ocean-openssh >
/root/.ssh/digital-ocean-openssh.pub" correctly created a public key
file, and the ssh client found it without any changes to the config
file.

Thank you.

I will just note however that there was never a need for a separate
private key in any previous version of Fedora prior to version 33. I
have been successfully using a configuration with just the private key
since Fedora 6.

I've just now verified my Debian (OpenSSH_7.9p1), Ubuntu (OpenSSH_8.2p1
), Windows (OpenSSH_7.3p1), and Mac (OpenSSH_7.9p1) machines and see
that they also have been working without separate public key files.
