            Bug ID: 3951
           Summary: For some keys, "ssh-add -l" shows the pathname instead
                    of the comment
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 10.0p2
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh-add
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: vincent-openssh at vinc17.net

For some keys added with "ssh-add /path/to/key":
  * This command outputs "Identity added: /path/to/key (/path/to/key)".
  * "ssh-add -l" and "ssh-add -L" also show the pathname instead of the
comment.

But "ssh-keygen -l -f /path/to/key" shows the comment as expected.

This happens under Debian with at least
  * openssh-client 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u9
  * openssh-client 1:10.0p1-7+deb13u2 (on one machine, with 4 keys, I
get 3 comments and 1 pathname; on another machine, with 9 keys, I get 2
comments and 7 pathnames).
