[Francesco Rigotti]

Package: php-ssh2

Dear Maintainer,

after applying available updates, local installations of Wordpress to fail at installing plugins or themes with the following message:

"Unable to locate WordPress content directory (wp-content)"

I assume that php-ssh2 is to blame.
What is your opinion? Is the cause of the issue to be found elsewhere?

Thanks!
