[Pkg-openssl-devel] symbol versioning

[Eduardo Pérez]

Every time I see symbol versioning I can see the bad consequences that
follow from that.

I'm not sure what is the way to go. But, I'm wondering:
Would it be possible to fix the linker so it knows when to get symbols
from the new library and the old one?

Anyone has an URL explaining this problem with some detail?
And why it can't be fixed without symbol versioning?
