For those of you running Gentoo, due to a eccentricity in GCC (ask
Hal), anything that was compiled against OpenSSL was specifically
bound to version 0.9.6. OpenSSL was recently upgraded to 0.9.7c
breaking all programs that link against it. Here's a tool to help you
instantly fix this and other dependency problems that may have arisen:
>From the gentoolkit:
# revdep-rebuilt
will automatically search your entire system for binaries that are
linked against non-existent libraries, discover which ebuild those
binaries came from and then rebuild each ebuild for you.
I suspect some other distributions will find themselves in a similar
situation when they upgrade.
