Package: libssh
Version: 0.8.0~20170825.94fa1e38-1
Severity: minor

Dear maintainer,

In order to test the fix for #771784 I tried to backport the current Sid
version of libssh to Stretch. The libraries built correctly but one of
the tests failed, preventing the package build to complete.

Using a backport of the current Sid version of libgcrypt fixed the
problem. After that, I tested this with other versions between the one
from Stretch and the one from Sid (downloaded from snapshot.debian.org)
and it appears that the minimum libgcrypt version that allows the test
to succeed is 1.7.8.

To avoid headaches to fellow maintainers who would ever need to backport
libssh, please update Build-Depends accordingly.

Regards,
