Comment 14 for bug 311029

If I understand the debian/rules file correctly, the --without-libssh2 option should only affect libcurl3-gnutls and not libcurl3? Futher it seems like the command line curl uses the (openssl) libcurl3?

The problem with curl and libcurl3 seems more related to a specific Ubuntu delta. That is that Ubuntu drops the build-dependency on libssh2-1-dev. When I rebuilt curl 7.21.0-1ubuntu1 (current maverick) with libssh2-1-dev readded as a build dependency sftp support worked just fine.
