Hi, the reason for wanting openssl 0.9.7 support is that some
applications still require it (rather than openssl 0.9.8), like C-Kermit
from ftp://ftp.columbia.edu/kermit/test/tar.
As long as Debian maintains the libssl0.9.7 package for applications
that require openssl 0.9.7 support, shouldn't the libssl0.9.7-dev
package also be retained?
Regards,
Arthur.

Hi, with the removal of the libssl0.9.7-dev package, I now have to
download the openssl097 souce package, configure it to include shared
libraries and run make on openssl097 in order to compile C-Kermit with
openssl 0.9.7 support. When compiled, C-Kermit can then use the
shared libssl installed by the libssl0.9.7 package.
Why would you want to link against 0.9.7? Is there a reason you
can't use 0.9.8? There should be no reason to keep 0.9.7 around.
