  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Perhaps, pip was able to select a pre-compiled wheel in the older system but not the newer one. If you want to compile it, you have to have something like libssh-devel pre-installed.

It's roughly mentioned @ https://ansible-pylibssh.rtfd.io/en/latest/installation_guide/#installing-project-from-source-distribution-pypi.
