Great, yes, this is a workaround. Unfortunately it's a *local* workaround. Even if I can generate i386 packages compiled for libssl0.9.7 if I send them to the queue they will get built by the autobuilders with libssl-dev which means !i386 will depend on libssl0.9.8. Steve, what do you think is the best way to proceed here? Should we wait for the bug to be fixed in OpenSSL or try to convince openssl developers to provide a libssl097-dev so that I could change Nessus build dependencies to it and make it use 0.9.7 until the OpenSSL bug is fixed? Or should I upload i386 packages built against 0.9.7 so (at least) i386 users can have a working Nessus client? Regards Javier
