Comment 1 for bug 407735

The original posting had OpenSSL issues in it, which were fixed by installing the libssl-dev package (I needed to RTFM).

I changed the description (which looks funny in the email) to only refer to the mktime issue. Had I not had the OpenSSL issues, I would not have noticed the mktime.

I think that this is a non-issue, while configure as it is distributed fails on mktime, it doesn't affect the install.
