Package: x2goclient
Version: some future release

Hi,

I'd like to request an update of libssh to version 0.6.x for the
Windows build of the X2Go Client software.
The current Windows builds which are shipped with libssh-0.5.5 have a
connection problem with hpn-enabled openssh servers [1].
We at Gentoo already faced the same problem a while ago [2].

The problem looks like this:
After a successful login with libssh-0.5.x to the hpn-enabled
openssh server the connection just hangs. There's no further data being
transferred from or to the server. This results in the X2Go Client to
hang as well.
After upgrading libssh to version 0.6.x the problem disappears.
