Checks wrong user for an SSH passphrase

[qris]

I'm in Daniel's session and trying to deploy. Daniel has an SSH key with a passphrase, so I try to tell fab.py to use my own username instead:

daniell@fen-desktop7:~/git/ruforum/django/website$ ../../deploy/fab.py -u chris staging deploy 

But it still asks me for a passphrase:

[fen-vz-ruforum-stage.fen.aptivate.org] Executing task 'deploy'
[fen-vz-ruforum-stage.fen.aptivate.org] Passphrase for private key: 

And I have to press Ctrl+C at this prompt to skip it, then it asks for my login password as it should:

[fen-vz-ruforum-stage.fen.aptivate.org] Login password: 

This may be a Fabric bug? It happens here:

Sorry, you can't enter an empty password. Please try again.

I think this is a fabric bug that I've been seeing since before we moved the deploy scripts into dye - I've tended to get around this by typing a few keys at the passphrase prompt and pressing enter. It then asks me for the login password and I can carry on. Alternatively I've run ssh-add and then it just asks me for the sudo password.

I agree it's not ideal though. I'll try and find time to work out if newer versions of fabric have this bug or not.
