Sorry, I did not realize this was a public bug.  Please open a customer case, instead of posting to an internal mailing-list.

Long story short, libssh2 has been removed from RHEL-8 intentionally.

libssh is now the supported SSH library in RHEL-8.  It has incompatible ABI/API with libssh2, so libssh2-based application needs to be migrated to libssh unless they support both the libraries (as, for example upstream curl does).
