So I made an new one:

|ssh <user>@git.debian.org
cd /git/pkg-multimedia
./setup-repository <project> "Project description"
[logout]
cd /path/to/local/<project>
git remote add alioth 
ssh://<user>@git.debian.org/git/pkg-multimedia/<project>.git
git push alioth master


But git push alioth master

fails


git push alioth master
Password:
Password:
Password:
Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
