Bug Description
In Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) a new upgrade has been released that upgrades the openssl package and the corresponding libssl0.9.8 library:
Preparing to replace libssl0.9.8 0.9.8a-7ubuntu0.7 (using .../libssl0.

This upgrade makes the SASL authentication (for postfix) unusable, and so a whole postfix SMTP installation using that. That is a VERY serious problem. (Downgrading the two packages can be a temporary fix.)
The following "auth.log" segment shows the details of the problem:
Jun 30 12:49:28 mester saslauthd[22542]: PAM unable to dlopen(
Jun 30 12:49:28 mester saslauthd[22542]: PAM [dlerror: /usr/lib/

Jun 30 12:49:28 mester saslauthd[22542]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=************] [service=smtp] [realm=nir.hu] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]
Noone? Seriously: is this not a real enough issue? Or am I doing something wrong to see this happen?
