Hi, the ckermit package in Debian (which doesn't use openssl) hasn't been updated in ages.

To use C-Kermit in Debian with openssl support I have been using the C-Kermit source from ftp://ftp.columbia.edu/kermit/test/tar.

If you look in recent discussion in the newsgroup comp.protocols.kermit.misc with the subject:

"c-kermit +ssl compile fails with syntax error before numeric constant"

you will see that C-Kermit compiled with the openssl makefile option will fail on openssl 0.9.8 (confirmed by C-Kermit co-author Jeffrey Altman).

In any case, I believe the openssl097-dev package should remain in Debian until all packages and programs that require it are available with openssl 0.9.8 support.

Can you please give more details about what is failing?  Some
error messages?

PS: Is there a package for this in Debian?  It might be easier to
look at it.
