--- Comment #4 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
Private keys should have a corresponding pubkey file available as ssh
prefers to load and test the public key before loading the private key.

We might downgrade this error in a future release, but you can avoid it
either by converting that key to an OpenSSH-format private key file or
by making a standalone public key using "ssh-keygen -yf
/root/.ssh/digital-ocean-openssh >
/root/.ssh/digital-ocean-openssh.pub"
