Thread: pgcrypto/openssl fix
OpenSSL 0.9.6g in Debian/unstable stopped working with pgcrypto. This is pgcrypto bug as it assumed too much about inner workings of OpenSSL. Following patch stops pgcrypto using EVP* functions for ciphers and lets it manage ciphers itself. This patch supports Blowfish, DES and CAST5 algorithms. -- marko
