hi friends,
the conservative debian stable provides libssh2 in version 1.2.6-1 that depends on libssl0.9.8 (0.9.8o-4squeeze13).
in the sid secton (still in development) almost the same package is used: libssl0.9.8 (0.9.8o-6).
perhaps the repository should provide often the cutting edge,
but security packages should be so stable as possible.
long audits mostly provide a stable base.
thank you for all your contributions.
