TypeError: no implicit conversion of Symbol into Integer when empty line is present in the authorized_keys file

[saper]

I don't know how the empty line got in to the authorized_keys file (maybe this is another bug in this cookbook), but when the first line is empty and we try to maintain the key which already exists (nothing should change) we get an exception.

Removing a line by hand works.
