can you give some more details? Like what you have installed and what
have you started. Applications which linked against libssl have symbol
dependecies which means an older version is either linked to another
libssl or should work with the current library.

Can you provide a link to that application? I can't find anything
usefull. Saying "broken and incompatible" is not helpfull in oder to
dermine the root cause. There are no problems with the applications in
the devian archive so it must be limited to something "special".
