Permission denied (publickey).
bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist.

Pedro,

Please reproduce the failure, then run "echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK" in the same shell, and tell us whether the result begins /tmp/ssh- or /tmp/keyring- : this will ascertain whether you are using the openssh ssh-agent, or the reimplementation of the ssh-agent protocol in gnome-keyring-daemon.

I suspect the latter, in which case this bug needs to be on the gnome-keyring package, not the openssh one.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem. We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's "Help -> Report a Problem" menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

I was typing the right password... for the wrong user! lol...

After typing the root password instead of the deltrem (I'm deltrem) password, gnome-keyring doesn't accept new attempts and fails automatically.

The solution is to reboot and use the right password for the right user.
