Comment 5 for bug 538718

Firstly, this isn't a bug in python-hildondesktop, as Daniel poits out,but rather likely in hildon-desktop or libhildondesktop (see the pkg-config calls). Note that python-hildondesktop is licensed under the GPL *without* the SSL exception, so linking to SSL would be a license violation : this bug should not be fixed in with the provided patch.

The solution is really to go make sure that -lssl isn't being exported by other libraries. Furthermore, if it is, all the build-dependencies need to be anallysied to make sure they are license-compatible with this link.
