Package: python-twisted-conch
Version: 2.0.1-5
Followup-For: Bug #344425
the problem for the crash was the open mode (has to be 'r+' and not 'a')
of the known_hosts file
it is fixed in the latest svn version. patch attached.
nevertheless conch (twisted) can not write hashed hostnames to the
know_hosts file
Regards
Lars
