Public bug reported: I operate a Linux based Internet hosting service that includes Linux shell servers of various flavors. I control these from home using Ubuntu 21.10 presently. Until recently, X-forwarding has worked from all but ancient Redhat 6.2 servers. I recently upgraded my debian shell server to Bullet, and after the upgrade ssh -X debian.eskimo.com from my workstation nanook.eskimo.com ceased to function. It simply says "Cannot open DISPLAY". At the time, all the others continued to work. Today, when I went to do upgrades, now ssh -X is forwarding across the board to all flavors of Linux. I did an ssh -V, nothing obvious wrong in the connection.
