openvpn - openssl-vulnkey:24: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead import sha

[Péter]

Binary package hint: openvpn

 * Starting virtual private network daemon(s)... * Autostarting VPN 'openvpn'
/usr/bin/openssl-vulnkey:24: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead
  import sha

[Thierry Carrez (ttx)]

openssl-vulnkey is part of the openssl-blacklist package.
The warning can be safely ignored, but that would look better if we weren't emitting it at all ?

[Thierry Carrez (ttx)]

Patch to use hashlib instead of sha.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package openssl-blacklist - 0.4.2ubuntu1

---------------
openssl-blacklist (0.4.2ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * openssl-vulnkey: Use hashlib python module (instead of sha module) to
    avoid a DeprecationWarning when starting up openvpn (LP: #352170)

The problem still exists in in openvpn-blacklist 0.3 (openvpn 2.1~rc11-1ubuntu3 depends on this package):

/usr/sbin/openvpn-vulnkey:22: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
  import md5

[Thierry Carrez (ttx)]

UNTESTED patch, based on openssl-vulnkey work

[Kees Cook (kees)]

Thanks! The patch is almost correct (no ".new"). I've uploaded this (along with many other small changes) to Debian and it should sync shortly.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package openvpn-blacklist - 0.4

---------------
openvpn-blacklist (0.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * openvpn-blacklist: replace "md5" with "hashlib" for Python 2.6
    migration (LP: #352170).
  * debian/control:
    - update standards version, no changes needed.
    - extend the description for more details to avoid lintian warnings.
  * debian/copyright: fix lintian warnings.
  * openvpn-vulnkey.1: fix format error seen from lintian warning.
