Typo: you meant #890606.
Upstream asked about the proposed "patch", which just adds NULL to some
functions that now require an additional pointer. Since there is no porting
guide and no API reference, upstream couldn't assess whether that patch was
correct without looking at the library changes (and they didn't). Perhaps you
could review that patch and comment on it so this can move on.

It no longer blocks qt4-rm, and there are solutions for the openssl1.0-rm
blocker. It's also a key package, so it's a blocker for this transition.
