`Permission denied (publickey).` when pushing to AUR repository

I'm the maintainer of `qownnotes` (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qownnotes) and I can't push to the aur repository ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/qownnotes.git since today. It last worked on Friday.

I get the error:

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

The key file is used in `~/.ssh/config`.

# AUR
Host aur.archlinux.org
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/aur_rsa
  User aur

A few hours ago I already tried to generated a new key and enter it at my AUR account, but this doesn't work neither.
Pushing to GitHub (https) and BitBucket (ssh) repositories is still working on my local system (Ubuntu, KDE Neon).

What can I do to update the repository again?

Re: `Permission denied (publickey).` when pushing to AUR repository

This seems to be a bug with the AUR, as I am also experiencing this issue (actually I came to the forums today specifically to see if anyone else had experienced this bug). If you look at https://aur.archlinux.org you will see that at the moment the latest successful push to the AUR was at 06:00 UTC which is almost six hours ago. So I suspect we're not the only ones having issues pushing.

I get the same error today. Seems there is something wrong with AUR.

Re: `Permission denied (publickey).` when pushing to AUR repository

When I asked on IRC an other one told me he had no troubles cloning a repository, so I was worried. But I couldn't find a thing that wasn't working on my side...

Oh man I changed my key and everything. Glad I am not going crazy!

ssh-keygen -R aur.archlinux.org

it works again

For me it also worked again. I used the key I generated yesterday.

Re: `Permission denied (publickey).` when pushing to AUR repository

Although the bug is fixed, I encountered the problem today. I use the pair ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub before the issue.
Then I looked in the wiki, and copy ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to ~/.ssh/aur and ~/.ssh/aur.pub. I also edit ~/.ssh/config and add the lines:

Host aur.archlinux.org
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/aur
  User aur

But the problem still exists. Should I generate a new pair? Can I just keep the old pair?

Re: `Permission denied (publickey).` when pushing to AUR repository

AFAIK the aur.archlinux.org installation of aurweb should not have been updated since this thread was initially solved (there hasn't been a release)...
Note that lots of people are successfully pushing to the AUR right now.

When was the last time you successfully pushed to the AUR?
Have you changed *anything* since then?

What is the debug output of ssh?
