Comment 3 for bug 1800135

Are you sure this is still incorrect in cosmic? It seems to me this is only broken in bionic.

 Description: tiny C SSH library. Development files (OpenSSL flavor)
  The ssh library was designed to be used by programmers needing a working SSH
  implementation by the mean of a library. The complete control of the client
  is made by the programmer. With libssh, you can remotely execute programs,
  transfer files, use a secure and transparent tunnel for your remote programs.
  With its SFTP implementation, you can play with remote files easily.
  .
  This package contains development files to build the OpenSSL flavor.
