I guess it's not in the Diablo repositories yet.

Chinook packages will migrate to there as developers upload them
to Diablo (autobuilder), but that can take a while.


As a temporary workaround, you can use Chinook (the previous release)
repositories, see "Diablo Extras" note here:

Diablo (i.e. v4.1) is not 100% compatible with Chinook (i.e. v4.0),
so some Chinook packages might still refuse to install, but I think ssh
should work just fine.

Installing ssh is the best way.
