True. This is obviously the best solution, as I already said. Everyone
agree on that. The WARNING file or any code you might add in PREPARE
were rather a temporary fix...

So I persist. :-p
Yes I know that everyone is a volunteer, I'm also one of them, do you
remember ? ;-)
But do you sincerely think it is a lack of testing ? I think not. You
only need to cast openssl and then try to launch some softwares to
notice that... Since the beginning of July, I think the people who
updated the package should have noticed it. Note that I don't want to
blame this person in particular ( I would have quote him unless ). This
is something that happens regularly with crucial spells, regardless of
the dev who does the update, and I find this would be good to solve that
once and for all, or at least provide some code to warn the user until
this be fixed.
