Package: bitcoin
Version: 0.9.3-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
OpenSSL version 1.0.1k made signature validation more strict, which breaks
validation of the Bitcoin blockchain.
See http://sourceforge.net/p/bitcoin/mailman/message/33221963/ for more
detailed information.
There is a patch available to work around this issue. However, for various
reasons, there are several possible courses of action that may be taken.
One would be to release a new version of the package with this patch, but that
may not necessarily be the best thing to do.
See discussion on IRC (#bitcoin-dev on freenode) for more information on some
of the alternatives:
