Segfault in HMAC_Init_ex () from /lib/i686/cmov/libcrypto.so.0.9.8

[Gabe Gorelick]

Both gm-notify.py and gm-notify-config.py crash on startup with a segfault in HMAC_Init_ex () from /lib/i686/cmov/libcrypto.so.0.9.8.

this is unfortunately not a problem of gm-notify but within the underlying c library of the underlying python library... maybe this could help:

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.

The patch in the upstream tracker has been added since then. So, it would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect 579081 and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thanks for reminding me of this bug. Upstream says this is fixed and I haven't run into this bug in a while so I'm marking as fix released.
