[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#450530: wpasupplicant segfaults, libssl0.9.8 is the culprit

[Dionisio Martínez Soler]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.6.0-4
Severity: important

Same problem here, with version 0.6.0-4 and with version 0.4.8-4 of
wpasupplicant, after a recent upgrade of libssl0.9.8 (to version
0.9.8g-2). Downgrading libssl0.9.8 to version 0.9.8c-4 solved the
problem.

I suggest adding this to /etc/apt/preferences if you use wpasupplicant
until the bug is resolved:
------------------------------------------------
Explanation: more recent versions don't work with wpasupplicant (segfault)
Package: libssl0.9.8
