On 16.04 LTS xenial, manually downloading and installing http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pyopenssl/python-openssl_16.1.0-1_all.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python-cryptography/python-cryptography_1.7.1-2_amd64.deb
solved this problem for me. Because each package breaks the version of the other installed by default on 16.04 LTS xenial, the two packages must be installed _together_ with an override: sudo dpkg -i --force-breaks python-cryptography_1.7.1-2_amd64.deb python-openssl_16.1.0-1_all.deb In my case, I also needed to install the standard "python-setuptools" package from the standard distribution repository, after which manual configuration was necessary: sudo dpkg --configure --force-breaks python-cryptography python-openssl -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1636573 Title: xinit flooding syslog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pyopenssl/+bug/1636573/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
