+Bug fix:
+
+* The check for paramiko version turned out not to work with
+  versions 1.7.8 through 1.10.4, due to the
+  `paramiko.__version_info__` variable being missing. It's there in
+  earlier and later versions. Lars Wirzenius added code to make the
+  check work if the `paramiko.__version__` variable is there. Jan
+  Niggemann provided research and testing.
