Oggetto: [Tails-dev] openssl with no PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC (breaks bitmessage)
I am trying to use https://bitmessage.org the P2P communications protocol
on top of tails, so I followed
https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Compiling_instructions
but it seems that the openssl in tails is missing a feature:

amnesia@amnesia:~/PyBitmessage/src$ python bitmessagemain.py
(On Linux) Couldn't find and load the OpenSSL library. You must install
it. If you believe that you already have it installed, this exception
information might be of use:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    func = self.__getitem__(name)

    func = self._FuncPtr((name_or_ordinal, self))

Following the same procedure on Ubuntu works smooth.

Could you please enable this openssl feature on the compilation of tails?

thanks,
