[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#447431: ntp: broken check for OpenSSL versions

[Steve Langasek]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

The ntp package isn't usable in (at least) unstable, because it incorrectly
presumes to second-guess the correct OpenSSL version to link against:

Oct 21 00:19:55 borges ntpd[32073]: ntpd: OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 908070, you have 90807f 

and exits immediately afterwards.

ntp should not be second-guessing the Debian library dependency handling. 
FWIW, this seems to be a recurrence of bug #286913, which was fixed in 2004;
where did that patch disappear to?

The attached patch should correct this bug again.
