Agreed, if they're going to ship such a monster, at the very least they should be responsive to fixing the fallout it creates. Given the lack of action I agree with ditching libssh support on Ubuntu 18.04, despite it otherwise being supported distro target. > Fix it by bumping the minimum libssh version to something that is > greater than 0.8.0 now.
