My apologies.   Could the Hardy packages have been built with an old
version of OpenSSL (pre 0.9.7)?

Encfs 1.0 switched to using new EVP methods in OpenSSL, which required
OpenSSL 0.9.7 or later.  If encfs was built with earlier versions of
OpenSSL, or versions with broken EVP interfaces (?), then only the
pre-1.0 cipher would be available.

It hadn't occurred to me that new filesystems were still being created
using pre-1.0 settings.  Encfs should have been generating a big run-
time warning all these years to warn people that they were using
deprecated options, rather then a small compile-time warning which only
maintainers would have seen.
