Hmmm. I'm running SL 5.3 and passed the test on the first try without updating libgcrypt.

rpm -q libgcrypt
libgcrypt-1.2.4-1.el5.x86_64
libgcrypt-1.2.4-1.el5.i386

Did I miss an update that broke openssl? Or did I miss the openssl update?

rpm -q openssl
openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5_4.6.x86_64
openssl-0.9.8e-12.el5_4.6.i686

Hello,
The recent update of openssl update of last week needs the newer libgcrypt that is in Scientific Linux 5.4. Otherwise some programs will not be able to connect to https sites.
This only affects SL 5.0 - SL 5.3.

To test if this is broken or working for you, try to connect to a https web site using lftp. Here is an example

 lftp https://www.scientificlinux.org/

If this test doesn't work for you, update you libgcrypt, as shown below, and try again. You do not need to reboot.

If everything goes well, this newer libgcrypt will go into the security errata for SL 50, 51, 52, and 53, tomorrow.

To test

SL5
-------
      yum --enablerepo=sl-testing update libgcrypt\*

or you can download rpm's by hand at

http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5rolling/testing/i386/libgcrypt/
libgcrypt-1.4.4-5.el5.i386.rpm
libgcrypt-devel-1.4.4-5.el5.i386.rpm

http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5rolling/testing/x86_64/libgcrypt/
libgcrypt-1.4.4-5.el5.i386.rpm
libgcrypt-1.4.4-5.el5.x86_64.rpm
libgcrypt-devel-1.4.4-5.el5.i386.rpm
libgcrypt-devel-1.4.4-5.el5.x86_64.rpm

Thanks
