[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#449200: libssl0.9.8: wpa_supplicant segfaults with 0.9.8f-2

Sun Nov 4 00:34:59 UTC 2007

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

After apt-get upgrading libssl0.9.8 version 0.9.8g-1 to version 0.9.8g-2 wpa_supplicant
from the wpasupplicant package version 0.6.0-4 doesn't work anymore.
After forcing dpkg to remove libssl0.9.8 version 0.9.8g-2 and reinstalling version 0.9.8g-1
wpa_supplicant works as exspected. So changes between these versions must have led to this
behaviour.
