[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#897658: m2crypto: FTBFS against openssl 1.1.1

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Source: m2crypto
Version: 0.27.0-5
Severity: important
User: pkg-openssl-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: openssl-1.1.1

The new openssl 1.1.1 is currently in experimental [0]. This package
failed to build against this new package [1] while it built fine against
the openssl version currently in unstable [2].
Could you please have a look? It seems not to like the new version
string:

|I: pybuild base:217: python2.7 setup.py clean

|make: *** [debian/rules:15: clean] Error 25

this is probably temporary until the `-preX' suffix vanishes in the
final release but it would nice to handle it in the meantime.
