Package: libopenssl-ruby1.8 Version: 1.8.2-7sarge2 Severity: serious The binary package libopenssl-ruby1.8 (pure GPL) depends on libssl0.9.7 (OpenSSL Licence). Those 2 licences conflict due to a clause in OpenSSL Licence which has to be added to the GPL.
Some other packages, lftp and ircd-hybrid for instance, have deactivated SSL support due to that conflict. Though the following may apply to other libopenssl-ruby*, i.e. libopenssl-ruby1.6 and libopenssl-ruby1.9, I open just one bug for now... The binary package libopenssl-ruby1.8 should not be distributed anymore, except if the upstream author alters the GPL by adding what the OpenSSL Licence paragraph 3 and 6 require: "This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit.
