This Bugzilla reports claims:
libssh2 is removed from RHEL-8, see bug #1513312 for details. The
package has actually never been supported in RHEL-8 beyond the virt module.
That is not quite true. It is available in RHEL8.1, in the AppStream8.latest
RHN channel.
$ yum list libssh2

Installed Packages
libssh2.x86_64
1.8.0-8.module+el8.0.0+5339+ebcc8ca7.1
@AppStream8.latest-patch
$
It is true however, that it's not in the base RHEL8 or AppStream8 yum repos
that come with base RHEL 8.1.
It is pretty trivial to install it on RHEL 8.0 and 8.1.
1. Define the yum repo definition file for AppStream8.latest.
2. yum install libssh2.
So if the (RHEL8 version of) dell-system-update RPM requires it, it should list
it as an RPM dependency.

To add to Chris, there is more information here (someone from Dell opened the
bug): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1767908
According to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1767908#c15 (from
another Dell person), "Dell tools has made plans to move to libssh from
libssh2."
Thanks.
