Description Clint Miller 2004-07-11 10:57:00 UTC

0.9.7d-r1 seems to have issues with blowfish.  For example, when invoking 
openvpn specifying blowfish as the algorithm we get:

Cipher algorithm 'BF-CBC' not found

This does not occur in 0.9.7d.  Similarly if we specify blowfish as the only 
acceptable openssh algorithm, it too fails.

When we 
emerge =dev-libs/openssl-0.9.7d-r0 and when we 
emerge =dev-libs/openssl-0.9.7d-r1 the same problem persists but NOT when we 
emerge =dev-libs/openssl-0.9.7d

After emerging r0 and r1 we tried re-emerging openvpn but got the same results.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge =dev-libs/openssl-0.9.7d-r0
2.run openvpn with blowfish as the preferred algorithm
3.

Actual Results:  
Cipher algorithm 'BF-CBC' not found 
 

Expected Results:  
OpenVPN should have found blowfish and run

I wasn't able to reproduce the error. Try to remove "emake all ||" from the openssl ebuild and re-emerge it. Also, check for blowfish in libcrypto with "strings /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 | grep BF".

re-open if 0.9.7e doesnt work for you
