Andreas: You are indeed correct.
I've myself recompiled and only installed the resulting libcurl to get SSH support (both command line and in php5-curl). Before doing this, i also installed the libssh2-1-dev. This would result in a working setup but my conclusions as to why were obviously flawed (ps. thanks for pointing this out!) Attached is a corrected patch against curl-7.21.0 (maverick). I added the dependency against the "curl" package. However I'm not sure if it should rather be against "libcurl3". Can someone help confirm this solution so we can try to push a patch upstream. ** Patch added: "Adds libssh2-1-dev as a build-dependency for curl to enable sftp support" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curl/+bug/311029/+attachment/1741476/+files/ssh-fix.diff -- curl and pycurl is not compiled with sftp support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311029 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
