Thanks for this bug report! The ssh-auth-methods.nse script was part of our
SVN development trunk for a while before the libssh2 integration was
reverted. Unfortunately, the feature was not ready for prime-time. It looks
like you installed from SVN, then rolled back to the 6.47 release, which
left some scripts in place.

I've addressed this in SVN by bumping the version number: prior to r33623,
SVN was showing Nmap 6.46, but was actually *ahead* of the 6.47 release.
Now it shows 6.47SVN.

To fix your installation, the cleanest way would be to remove all the
installed files and reinstall. Our Makefiles should support the "uninstall"
target, but some stuff may get missed; be sure to "rm -rf
/usr/local/share/nmap" before reinstalling.

Generally, I recommend only using one method or another for installing.
That is to say, don't install from SVN, and then install from the release
tarball or RPMs. If you compile from source, use a package manager to allow
you to remove or upgrade Nmap cleanly. On Ubuntu, I like to use
checkinstall:

$ svn co https://svn.nmap.org/nmap
$ cd nmap
$ ./configure && make && make check
$ cd ..
$ mv nmap nmap-$(./nmap/nmap --version | awk '/^Nmap version/{print $3}')
$ cd nmap-*
$ sudo checkinstall

Then follow the prompts.
