Subject: accessing remote openwrt hosts gives => Wrong method specification
 for `ssh'
Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2019 11:13:32 +0200

In emacs on a Debian stable desktop:

  C-x C-f /ssh:myopenwrt-host:/etc/config/

remotely opens the directory on the openwrt router just fine. When a
file in that directory (e.g. "system") is selected, emacs gives:

  "Wrong method specification for `ssh'"

If the same file is selected a second time, emacs opens an empty
buffer.

There is no problem accessing these files without emacs using ssh and
scp.  FWIW, this is the relevant ssh config:

  host myopenwrt-host
    hostname          192.168.1.38
    port              22
    user              root
    IdentityFile      /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa
    ForwardX11        no
