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

[Dionisio Martínez Soler]

Correction: downgrading libssl0.9.8 to version 0.9.8g-1 also solved the
problem. Apparently, in my case, the problem was caused by the upgrade
from 0.9.8g-1 to 0.9.8g-2.

So, I suggest now 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
Pin: version 0.9.8g-1
Pin-Priority: 1001
