The current package installed is 0.8.0, but if we check the headers /usr/include/libssh/libssh.h, we can see it: /* libssh version */ #define LIBSSH_VERSION_MAJOR 0 #define LIBSSH_VERSION_MINOR 7 #define LIBSSH_VERSION_MICRO 0 If we try to use the version inside a C code, we get: printf("%x", LIBSSH_VERSION_INT); I expect to see: 800 I'm seeing: 700 Check pkg-config too: $ pkg-config --modversion libssh 0.8.0 It does not match with the package version and some new functions were implemented after libssh release 0.7.5. This libssh.h file needs to be fixed.
