I use libssl0.9.6 from a self-compiled source package. As far as I
know, I have followed the guidelines for compiling src debs.
At first I used the version from unstable which seems to be the
default when you apt-get a source package. Since the machine is too
slow for "casual" recompiling, I now use the version from stable.
When I do an apt-upgrade, a security update is available for
libssl0.9.6. However I can't find any new issues wrt ssh/ssl.
I have tried to figure out if the new binary package is indeed
different from the one I compiled, but can't come up with the
answer.
Here is the information I use:
#=======================>
# dpkg -l libssl0.9.6
....
+++-==============-==============-==============================
ii libssl0.9.6 0.9.6c-2 SSL shared libraries
# apt-get upgrade -s

Conf libssl0.9.6 (0.9.6c-2.woody.1 Debian-Security:3.0/stable)
....
# apt-cache policy

<==========================#
I don't know if I should upgrade or concentrate on pinning the
current package I have.
What other information do I need? How to interpret this
information?
I will reread all the documentation, but I thought I had a basic
understanding of package management already. Seems I need to get
more informed.
Any insight to help this clueless soul would be warmly welcomed.
Bob
