Bug#664383: openssh: Too strict openssl check again.
Source: openssh
Version: 1:5.9p1-3
Severity: important
Hi,
I was preparing a new version of openssl 1.0.1, and after I
installed it and wanted to use ssh, I got this:
OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 1000007f, you have 1000100f
At some point we removed that check, but then there is this
changelog entry in 1:5.4p1-1:
* Drop Debian-specific removal of OpenSSL version check. Upstream ignores
the two patchlevel nybbles now, which is sufficient to address the
original reason this change was introduced, and it appears that any
change in the major/minor/fix nybbles would involve a new libssl package
name. (We'd still lose if the status nybble were ever changed, but that
would mean somebody had packaged a development/beta version rather than
a proper release, which doesn't appear to be normal practice.)
And we have the same problem again.
Openssl has changed the way it numbers it's versions, and now
1.0.x would stay abi compatible with 1.0.0. But I think the
check is bogus in any case.
So I'm waiting with uploading the 1.0.1 version until openssh
is fixed, and I'll add a Breaks.
Kurt
