      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      This is a continuation of RHEL-52293.
      If the user tries to use a PuTTY key (".ppk" format) on a RHEL9 system, the following error shows up:

      debug1: Trying private key: ./test.ppk
      Load key "./test.ppk": error in libcrypto
      

      With RHEL8, the error was more explicit:

      debug1: Trying private key: ./test.ppk
      Load key "./test.ppk": invalid format
      

      What is the impact of this issue to you?

      Annoyance because it's hard to troubleshoot

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

      openssh-8.7p1-44

      How reproducible is this bug?:

      Always, use the key attached to the issue (test.ppk a RSA key)
