Quick update: There is a ABI breakage in the OpenSSL package which needs
to be fixed upstream. The OpenSSL developers sent out an email to
everyone announcing that a new release will be uploaded today.

After that has been done we will rebuild the update and re-upload.

While we are at it we will include an other security update for
strongswan.

Best,
-Michael
