Package: openssl Version: 0.9.8g-13 Severity: normal
In package mail-notification the README.Debian states conflicts in the license of openssl and the gpl and thus the package disabled ssl support. At the same time the openssl packges has an entry in the FAQ about exacting this issue. The text rather vague and doesn't really clearify the issue, you would normally read the text such that it contradicts the explanation in mail-notification. To make the situation even more confusing, Debian offers a lot of packages, which are linked against libssl and licensed under GPL (e.g. kcontrol, inkscape, balsa, ...). I would like to have this issue clearified and to have a consistent interpretation for all debian packages. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages openssl depends on: ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-13 SSL shared libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime openssl recommends no packages.
