why can't I connect to my ssh server UNLESS I enter eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" first?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Because it's basically axiomatic: ssh uses all keys it knows about. The system can't tell you why it's not using something it doesn't know it should be able to use. You can give a -i for the certificate to check if it doesn't know it because the content is broken or the location.
That said: this doesn't make -v more useful for cases like this, just because there's a reason!
