Hi Bastian,

Sorry for the delay, and thanks for this bug-report,

Just tested on a bar clean sandbox.

  root at 1330b8e762bd:~# irb
  irb(main):001:0> require('rugged')
  => true
  irb(main):002:0> Rugged.features
  => [:threads, :ssh]

  # r10k.yaml
  git:
    provider: 'rugged'

And indeed, r10k fails (with the non-default r10k provider 'rugged') with the
error, "Method unimplemented in libgcrypt"

According and quoting the upstream documentation:

https://github.com/puppetlabs/r10k/blob/master/doc/git/providers.mkd#supported-transports-with-rugged

« libssh2 on Debian and Ubuntu is compiled against libgcrypto instead of OpenSSL
due to licensing reasons, and unfortunately libgcrypto does not support a number
of required operations, including reading from a private key file. You will need
to either use shellgit or recompile your own libssh2-1 package to use OpenSSL on
these distributions. »

'licensing reasons' are tracked in the bug https://bugs.debian.org/668271

We take a look to change r10k hard-deps on rugged.

Thanks

Sebastien
