[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#334596: libssl0.9.8: upgrade to 0.9.8a-1 makes ssh segfault

[Jim Meyering]

Package: libssl0.9.8
Version: 0.9.8-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

This is mainly a guess/warning.
A few minutes ago I ran aptitude to upgrade
all but the libc6 packages and pulled in 0.9.8a-1
versions of libssl and openssl.  But right after an
uneventful install, I saw that ssh would always segfault.
So I downgraded those two packages and now ssh works again.
