Newest openssl (openssl-1.0.2g.tgz) breaks python

[plluksie]

After updating to the openssl-1.0.2g python throws errors:

# pip reinstall virtualenv

downgrade to openssl-1.0.2f.tgz solves the issue

Is this in reference to a specific pkgsrc repository? Can you include what image version you're using?

@jperkin does this look familiar?

@plluksie - Please refer to this issue TritonDataCenter/pkgsrc#326. I don't believe there is anything we can fix. It's a dependency of python 2.7 itself on SSLv2 which has to be disabled for security reason. (https://www.openssl.org/news/openssl-1.0.2-notes.html)

@askfongjojo @jperkin @rmustacc thank you. Enforcing the reinstall with the newest packages solved the issue:

pkgin -fy up
pkgin -y upgrade
pkgin -Fy in python27

This will be fixed correctly in the 15.4.1 images which will be released shortly.
