the problem is in this file

dropbear only uses the file /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys if it was patched
in the upstream version of dropbear the patch is not included
im working with some embedded systems where the file
/etc/dropbear/authorized_keys is not writeable
with older ubuntu systems ssh-copy-id was working
but since that change in ssh-copy-id can't install the ssh key anymore
** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu)

Title:
ssh-copy-id and Dropbear Server
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
on Dropbear SSH Servers ssh-copy-id installs the key in
/etc/dropbear/authorized_keys
only the openwrt dropbear server uses that path
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/2211ee0037764e1c6b1576fe7a0975722cd4acdc/package/network/services/dropbear/patches/100-pubkey_path.patch
the upstream dropbear server uses the normal path
~/.ssh/authorized_keys
