ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/bin/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory Permission denied

I am using Ubuntu. I installed ssh_askpass package. 

I am getting bellow error:

ssh -T root@142.93.143.146 'cd /var/www/backoffice/ && git pull origin master'
<1s
+ ssh -T root@142.93.143.146 'cd /var/www/backoffice/ && git pull origin master'

 My bitbucket-pipelines.yml file inside:

image: atlassian/default-image:latest

pipelines:
default:
- step:
deployment: staging
caches:
- composer
script:
- ssh -T root@142.93.143.146 'cd /var/www/backoffice/ && git pull origin master'

I searched the internet, I couldn't find any solution. i got very nervous :(

The process running ssh-askpass does not have permission to use the program, or the program is not installed on the path you have given.  It may also be that the program cannot access another file.

Log on to the server you're trying to run it on and see what happens when you run the command manually, ideally with a "verbose" flag so it gives you a bit more info, after checking that it is where you think it is and that the permissions on it are correct.

I made on Ubuntu: 

ln -s /usr/bin/ssh-askpass /usr/bin/ssh_askpass 

When I run this command:

# ssh_askpass

ssh_askpass

Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused




(ssh_askpass:29420): Gtk-WARNING **: 11:15:04.782: cannot open display: 

exec(/usr/bin/ssh-askpass):
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `/usr/bin/ssh-askpass'
root@test-droplet:/var/www/backoffice# 

so it works. stupid mistake.

There is 1 more server. I did not install any. It worked immediately with the same settings.
