An alternative is to download the woody version of openssl. apt will
also install all dependencies that are required for woody's ssl though
and you may not want this.
Just in case, though, to do this you need to:
* add a line for woody to your /etc/apt/sources.list, keep the potato
lines there
* add a line to your /etc/apt/apt.conf file which should read:
APT::Default-Release "potato";
so that it doesn't attempt to install everything from woody from now
on.
* run "apt-get update" to get the newest package lists for both potato
and woody
* run "apt-get install -t stable openssl" to install Woody's openssl,
and its dependencies.
