Re: Update on 'unstable' left Gnome unusable
Great! Thank you. I got it working, and it started ssh working for me again
as well ( same error, I didn't know they were related ).
I simply downgraded these two packages:
openssl_0.9.6a-1_i386.deb
libssl0.9.6_0.9.6a-1_i386.deb
to these two:
openssl_0.9.6-2_i386.deb
libssl0.9.6_0.9.6-2_i386.deb
Thanks again,
Jeff Davis
