Just a wild guess, but the following code in openssl.preinst if [ -L /etc/ssl ] then echo Removing obsolete link /etc/ssl rm /etc/ssl fi _might_ have something to do with that behaviour... I didn't know that the preinst script did something like this. This is probably about upgrades from very old versions. At first look this seems to be the fix for from version 0.9.2b-3 for a bug that doesn't exist anymore. I think it should be safe to just remove the preinst script.

Bug#445095: openssl: Package upgrade removes /etc/ssl if it is a symbolic link
Package: openssl Version: 0.9.8c-4etch1 Severity: normal The recent security update broke my installation, where /etc/ssl is a symbolic link. The upgrade removed the link and installed a /etc/ssl directory containing only two empty directories (certs and private). -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages openssl depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libssl0.9.80.9.8c-4etch1 SSL shared libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13compression library - runtime openssl recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The upgrade removed the link and installed a /etc/ssl directory containing only two empty directories (certs and private). The openssl package has a few files/dirs in /etc: /etc/ssl /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf /etc/ssl/private /etc/ssl/certs /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf is also marked as a conffile. The later 2 are just empty directories the openssl package might use. The ca-certificates package for instance also puts it's files there. If you just replace /etc/ssl by a symlink, dpkg gets confused when you try to upgrade it to a newer version, and I think it just removes the symlink and creates the files and directories again. You could argue that this is a bug in dpkg, but it might also be documented behaviour, I don't know. I'm just going to reassign it to the dpkg package.
