Just off the top of my head, for instance, 2.2.3 uses openssl-0.9g.
The current version, containing important fixes, is 0.9m. So far, I've no idea
how to update it.
The old commands to update the installation no longer work, since the Open
Package folk seem to have removed the repository, so that updates, apart from
the kolab security fixes, are not possible.
Seems we're in a bit of a limbo at the moment, with kolab installed natively
from several distributions' repositories failing to work correctly.
Do you have any suggestions?
Regards
Alex
