I use archlinux and have had an issue recently with keychain. My config is supposed to add keys when I login by calling
eval $(keychain --eval id_rsa id_ed25519)
But it reports a "Problem adding" and won't add either of the two keys. However, I can manually add keys with ssh-add to the ssh-agent that keychain starts. So, I dug into the keychain script a little, and on line 1601 of version 2.8.5 I see this command

Can someone please explain to me what's going on?
