[arch-general] gpg-agent: SSH_AGENT_FAILURE when adding an ECDSA key

[Magnus Therning]

According to what I've found gpg-agent's ssh-agent should, as of
version 2.0.21, support ECDSA keys, but still I can't add such a key:

~~~~
% ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa_gitlab
Enter passphrase for /home/magnus/.ssh/id_ecdsa_gitlab: 
SSH_AGENT_FAILURE
Could not add identity: /home/magnus/.ssh/id_ecdsa_gitlab
~~~~

I've verified that gpg-agent is properly set up by adding an RSA key:

~~~~
% ssh-add .ssh/id_rsa_test
Enter passphrase for .ssh/id_rsa_test: 
Identity added: .ssh/id_rsa_test (.ssh/id_rsa_test)
% ssh-add -l
2048 5a:5f:b5:ca:0c:d5:ba:dc:1d:4f:d8:13:5a:91:4e:69 .ssh/id_rsa_test (RSA)
~~~~

Am I doing something wrong here, or should I just use ssh-agent from OpenSSH
instead (or stop using ECDSA keys)?
