Package: openssl
Version: 1.1.0j-1~deb9u1
Severity: normal

Hi,

After this update to stretch-security:

 Accepted openssl 1.1.0j-1~deb9u1 (source) into stable->embargoed, stable

the subcommand genrsa changed interface from its previous version, and does not
accept -config or -batch options anymore:

 Extra arguments given.
 genrsa: Use -help for summary.

I worked around the issue in other ways, and I know that "genpkey" is supposed
to supercede "genrsa", but this problem might affect scripts that the users
cannot easily change, and it's OK-ish for major versions but would be nice to
not affect systems with stable-security updates.

For reference, command that used to work:

 openssl genrsa -out "${KEY_FILE}" 4096 -config "${CONFIG_FILE}" -batch

As a workaround with "genrsa":

 OPENSSL_CONF="${CONFIG_FILE}" openssl genrsa -out "${KEY_FILE}" 4096
Cheers.
