Cannot parse privateKey: Unsupported key format

See original GitHub issue

Mup version (mup --version): 1.4.5

Okay so the problem is, that macOS Mojave is creating new OpenSSH keys, which can’t be parsed with the ssh2 module. I googled a lot but I can’t get it to work. 😦

The older keys started with

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

the newer ones with

-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

Anyone found a way to fix this?
