Description:
MySQL Workbench can't connect to newer OpenSSH servers for Remote Management, for example the default Debian 8 sshd server.

The error message will be:

ERROR One of the modules necessary for SSH base administration could not be importet.

How to repeat:
try to connect to a Debian 8 default OpenSSH-server with version openssh-server 6.7p1-5

Suggested fix:
Update paramiko to the latest version.
Add ECDSA support for paramiko.

For example take https://github.com/warner/python-ecdsa/releases and place the ecdsa folder into "...\MySQL Workbench 6.3 CE\python\site-packages"

it will connect successfully then (if https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=77613 is fixed)

Thank you for the bug report. Duplicate of http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=74658.
