Hi Sebastian,

> This package is using the c_rehash command which is part of the
> openssl package. The c_rehash script is considered by upstream as a
> fallback script and will disappear at some point. The recommended way

> command anymore.

> The "openssl rehash" command creates half that many symlinks (one per

> There is also the -compat option which creates both symlinks (and
> behaves like c_rehash currently does). The hash changed from md5 to
> sha1 during the 0.9.8 to 1.0.0 transition so I doubt that the
> "compat" mode will be required.
