Package: libssl1.0-dev Version: 1.0.2k-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When trying to build Pound against libssl1.0, the build fails because Pound uses the openssl tool to generate C code containing DH parameters (openssl dhparam -C ...). The system-wide openssl on Debian testing is from OpenSSL 1.1, and generates C code which is incompatible with OpenSSL 1.0. As a result it is impossible to build some software (Pound) against OpenSSL 1.0 in spite of having installed libssl1.0-dev. The upstream developers have rejected the idea that the openssl dhparam command should generate code compatible with multiple OpenSSL releases, (https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/2675), so it seems if Debian wants to provide a fully functional 1.0.x development environment on a machine primarily using OpenSSL 1.1, the development package will need to include its own version of the openssl tool (or pull one in via depencencies). An alternate fix would be to patch the OpenSSL 1.1 tool to generate backwards compatible code (against the wishes of the upstream). I hope this helps! -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libssl1.0-dev depends on: ii libssl1.0.2 1.0.2k-1 libssl1.0-dev recommends no packages. libssl1.0-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
