[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#335836: libssl0.9.8: library has no ciphers

[Birger Koblitz]

Package: libssl0.9.8
Version: 0.9.8a-2
Severity: normal

Several programs which worked well with 0.9.7g suddenly fail to run reporting
18980:error:140A90A1:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_new:library has no ciphers:ssl_lib.c:1424:
after the upgrade of the testing package to 0.9.8.
After googling for this I found out that the general hint is that one should recompile
openssl manually. I did so with 0.9.8a and it worked again.
So there is maybe something wrong with Debian's package.
