Re: TRAMP cannot connect to remote + proxyjump

Ok, I think I figured it out. I had installed emacs within a distrobox
container. Launching emacs from within that container and connecting
/ssh:host2: works. Distrobox has a feature to "export" binaries to the
host system, normally it works fine but I think emacs may not like it.
I will then try to insteall emacs on my host system directly.

Thank you for your help!
