Package: openssl
Version: 0.9.7-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Please version symbols in openssl.  This library change sonames in a most
hideous way, and every time it does it it causes major havok in the
distribution, since both old and new versions of this library end up being
linked at the same time.  IT BREAKS SOFTWARE IN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IN A MOST
INSIDUOUS AND SNEAKY WAY!

Versioning symbols to SSL0.9.7 for example (or OPENSSL0.9.7) would fix the
problems once and for all.  Conflicting with the old openssl packages would
help us detect the breakage, but it would not be really fair, since it is
perfectly ok to have some apps using 0.9.6 and others using 0.9.7... as
long as the library dependency chain doesn't bring in BOTH.

Don't count on upstream for this, BSD has no concept of versioned symbols.
Maybe they will have the foresight and accept a patch that activates
versioned symbols only in Linux and Solaris, but I would not count on it.

Sending the version patch to RedHat, Suse, Mandrake and others would be a
good idea, as well.

Hi,

This should have been fixed in the 0.9.8a-1, and really is a
duplicate of #333349.  But I don't see the point of merging after
it's closed.
