There were so many related changes in yesterday's update of testing it
was hard to know where to start with thinking about the problem! It is
good in a sense that other packages have the problem so it is clearly
the libssl upgrade that is at the heart of it. It means that there may
be nothing at all wrong with Courier.

A lot of people use Testing far fewer use Unstable so some things will
only get caught on the move to Testing -- that's why it is Testing!
However, I do have to admit that this one is rather surprising not to
have been caught in Unstable. Hopefully the libssl people will find the
problem quickly. At least they know it is in the 0.9.7 -> 0.9.8 change.

Thanks for the prompt responses. This is much appreciated.

And thanks for all your efforts on making Debian so easy to work with.
