Bug#637818: aimage: FTBFS with wrong check for libssl

[Christophe Monniez]

aimage was removed from Debian testing.
The upstream author stopped working on this tool.

So, unless someone else create a fork of the upstream, it will not
come back into Debian.

Bug#637818: aimage: FTBFS with wrong check for libssl

[Steve Langasek]

Package: aimage
Version: 3.2.4-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: FTBFS
User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu oneiric ubuntu-patch

In addition to bug #618087, which is still present, aimage now also fails to
build because of a wrong autoconf check for libssl: the autoconf check
examines libssl for an 'ssl3_new' symbol, despite the fact that it never
*uses* this symbol at runtime.  

The attached patch corrects the autoconf check to only look for symbols that
are actually needed, and removes a wrong reference to a non-existent 'm4'
directory, allowing autoreconf to run successfully.

Since bug #618087 is still outstanding, I intend to remove the broken/FTBFS
aimage binary from the upcoming Ubuntu release.  It can be re-included if a
fixed package is made available in Debian in time.
