SSH keeps skipping my pubkey and asking for a password
You have correct ssh key but still it is asking password to login or if password authentication is prohibited, it stopped accepting correct keys.
If it was working before and suddenly it starts giving above error, it means you have upgraded your openssh. The new openssh version - 7.0+ does not support DSA keys anymore (Neither on server nor on client).
If openssh client has been upgraded and openssh server still supports DSA keys, make the changes in client side ssh config.
Solution :
If openssh server has been upgraded and openssh client still supports DSA keys, make the changes in server side sshd config.
Solution :
Note : The best solution, you must use RSA keys. It has strong and secure algorithm and it is better than the patch you are finding.
