You are far better off using aptitude. It is virtually a drop in
replacement and also has a nice interactive mode.

Odd. Has it been a while since you ran and 'apt-get update' ? Version
0.9.8e-4 has been in testing for over a month now:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/o/openssl.html
testing yeah, but not etch I sed -i 's/etch/testing/g'
/etc/apt/sources.list and it works fine but switch that back and it
doesn't work. Not really sure what the difference between testing and
etch is supposed to be but *shrug*
