I assume that linking with libcrypto.so and not libssl.so does not change the problem? I'll talk to upstream about that, and see if he could add an exception for linking with openssl, as said in the openssl faq. > > 2.

What I don't understand is that "objdump -p /usr/lib/libssh.so.0 | grep SONAME" returns 'libssh.so.0'. Doesn't this mean its SONAME is 'libssh.so.0'? If it does, where is the problem? I set the shared library version to 0.0.0 since it's the first debian package release. I was planning to version next release 1.0.0, since interfaces will be removed and since it will break backward compatibility, independantly of the version number upstream will give to his release.
