Comment (by kareltje63):

 Solved by @ralphm's patch!
 Had WordPress-does-not-update-through-ssh2 problem on ubuntu 14.04,
 upgraded PHP ssh2 to no avail, then upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04, PHP 7, a
 slightly better error message (instead of an empty page a 'cannot locate
 wp-content' message), but still not able to upgrade.

 Then I applied the intval() patch for file wp-admin/includes/class-wp-
 filesystem-ssh2.php which solved the problem for me on both the original
 ubuntu 14.04 WordPress install and the 16.04 install.

 Do not forget to apply the patch again after upgrading, until the patch
 makes it into a new WordPress release
