[Pkg-gajim-maintainers] Bug#884311: gajim doesn't start after python-openssl upgrade

[dimitris]

Package: gajim
Version: 0.16.8-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

upgrading python-openssl package and gajim can't start anymore

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

open gajim from menu or console.  

   * What was the outcome of this action?

error message : 
~ gajim            
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gajim.py", line 307, in <module>
    OpenSSL.rand.load_file(str(RNG_SEED))
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'load_file'

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

normal start of gajim.

After reverting to testing version of python-openssl, gajim works as 
expected.

I know it seems to be caused from python-openssl, but maybe its more 
relevant to gajim instead(?) that's why i'm filling bug here. but please 
reassign packages as you think best.

thanks,
d.
