No matching algo hostkey with OpenWrt 19.07.03 Dropbear v2019.78
See original GitHub issueI upgraded my router to OpenWrt 19.07.03 that includes Dropbear v2019.78 Tested with connectbot 1.9.6 and with build 1.9.7-31 on Android 9, both resulted in the same output
Key exchange was not finished, connection is closed.
Cannot negotiate, proposals do not match.
On dropbear side I get:
authpriv.info dropbear[8624]: Exit before auth: No matching algo hostkey
Works fine with OpenWrt 18.06.08 which uses Dropbear v2017.75
