I dug a bit deeper into the what happens during the building and loading of the libssl.so* and libcrypto.so*.
When the qt4-x11 source package is buildd libssl-dev is installed as a dependency. It is not a direct dependency of qt4-x11, but due to another dev that is installed. At the time the packages of qt4-x11 were build for wheezy. libssl-dev was still depending to libssl0.9.8 and not libssl1.0.0, as it is at the moment. So for libqt4-network the fall-backs are not used, when lib[ssl|crypto].so.0.9.8 are present on the system. On my system the sequence of picking the libraries are with libssl-dev(1.0.0d-2) installed: first attempt: (using SHLIB_VERSION_NUMBER) - library for ssl : libssl.so.1.0.0 - library for crypto : libcrypto.so.1.0.0 second attempt: (using development files) - library for ssl : libssl.so - library for crypto : libcrypto.so third attempt: (scanning the most common library paths) - library for ssl : /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 - library for crypto : /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 - library for ssl : /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 - library for crypto : /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 - library for ssl : /usr/lib/libssl.so - library for crypto : /usr/lib/libcrypto.so Just ripped the loading code from qsslsocket_openssl_symbols.cpp. And added some qWarnings. So the upcoming 4.7.2-4 will solve this problem as it cause libqt4-network to load libssl.so.1.0.0 and libcrypto.so.1.0.0 on the first attempt. But there is a possibility the upgrade will also break other programs. Mark-Willem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
