Package: openssl
Version: 0.9.8g-15+lenny1
Severity: normal
After an apt-get dist-upgrade of my Debian-5-amd64 system which updated
the openssl libs, one specific OpenVPN connection won't connect any more
using nm-applet 0.6.6 ("Could not connect to VPN server"), a second VPN
conn still works ok.
I checked the vpn server using ping. ping showed connectivity, but it
had a ~5 second delay between packets, obviously from trying to resolve
the reverse dns; ping -n lets the tool behave as I know it (and as it
still works on all other 5.0-stable systems).
With this diagnosis, it might be that a missing reverse dns makes the
connection fail; the working OpenVPN connection as a valid reverse dns
PTR, the failing one has not.
Next, I checked "openvpn <cfgFile>" directly, and now the connection
*does* start. Which leaves me totally confused now.
Since only libssl was updated (and libicu38, which appears
non-suspicious to me), I'm reporting this bug as openssl-related.
