Hmmm, its no problem to kick out the relevant test (I managed on my local disk successfully). But are you *really* sure that editing autogenerated files that are actually not supposed to be edited manually but under control of autoconf is the best solution for the problem? I never ever had the need to edit a configure file and if there was ever any need to fix a broken one using dh-autoreconf was the working solution. Moreover I noticed that after *removing* configure the option -DUSE_SSL was used while when I just skipped the test inside the configure file it was *not* included which seems like the configure file is broken in several ways. So it sounds reasonable to me to stick to my initial strategy and to assume that the configure file was delivered by accident and thus removing it. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
