Bug#828244: bacula: FTBFS with openssl 1.1.0

[Carsten Leonhardt]

Control: severity -1 important

bacula 7.4.4+dfsg-3 switched to using libssl1.0-dev, so the release
critical severity no longer applies.

As adapting openssl-related code is not my speciality, I'll have to
depend on someone else providing a patch to make this work.

I'm referring to the subthread starting with this message:

The patch should make it support both old and new version of OpenSSL.

Yes it is. I don't really know of any raised concerns.

I've just got feedback from upstream:

Is the plan still to have OpenSSL 1.1 in stretch? There were several
concerns raised in the thread following your announcement in June.

Are upstreams concerns valid?

Version: 7.4.0+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Control: block 827061 by -1

Hi,

OpenSSL 1.1.0 is about to released.  During a rebuild of all packages using
OpenSSL this package fail to build.  A log of that build can be found at:
https://breakpoint.cc/openssl-1.1-rebuild-2016-05-29/Attempted/bacula_7.4.0+dfsg-1_amd64-20160529-1407

On https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/1.1_API_Changes you can see various of the
reasons why it might fail.  There are also updated man pages at
https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/ that should contain useful information.

There is a libssl-dev package available in experimental that contains a recent
snapshot, I suggest you try building against that to see if everything works.

If you have problems making things work, feel free to contact us.
