Package: libssl0.9.8 Version: 0.9.8m-2 Severity: important This seems to be related to bug #573748 which was reassigned from libssl0.9.8 to postfix.
I ran into similar problems with my dovecot (1.2.10-1) installation. After upgrading to libssl0.9.8m-2 I'm unable to connect to my dovecot server (which uses a self-signed certificate) using tls/ssl connections. from the logs: Mar 14 19:01:01 hydrogen dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=6599 Mar 14 19:01:01 hydrogen dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=91.53.xxx.yyy, lip=79.140.xxx.yyy, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:0D0C50A1:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_item_verify:unknown message digest algorithm Reverting back to libssl0.9.8_0.9.8k-8_i386.deb (and not upgrading to the newest dovecot packages which depend on libssl0.9.8 >=0.9.8m-1 and therefore show the bug) solves this problem for me. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libssl0.9.8 depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.28 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime libssl0.9.8 recommends no packages. libssl0.9.8 suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
