SSLv2 dropped in openssl, cant install Nimbus

[joaodrp]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Nimbus on the current ubuntu LTS, which has openssl 1, which seems to have dropped support for SSLv2 due to critical security issues. I cant install nimbus since it seems to require it with cumulus, the installation procedure ends with this error:

Creating Cumulus repository with the following commands:

/home/nimbus/nimbus/ve/bin/cumulus-create-repo-admin Repo

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/nimbus/nimbus/ve/bin/cumulus-create-repo-admin", line 8, in load_entry_point('pycb==0.1', 'console_scripts', 'cumulus-create-repo-admin')() File "/home/nimbus/nimbus/ve/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 318, in load_entry_point """Locate distribution dist_spec and run its script_name script""" File "/home/nimbus/nimbus/ve/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 2221, in load_entry_point for line in self.get_metadata_lines(name): File "/home/nimbus/nimbus/ve/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 1954, in load """ File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/pycb/tools/base_repo.py", line 10, in File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/pycb/cumulus.py", line 4, in File "/home/nimbus/nimbus/ve/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/internet/ssl.py", line 46, in from OpenSSL import SSL File "/home/nimbus/nimbus/ve/lib/python2.7/site-packages/OpenSSL/init.py", line 11, in import rand, crypto, SSL, tsafe ImportError: /home/nimbus/nimbus/ve/lib/python2.7/site-packages/OpenSSL/SSL.so: undefined symbol: SSLv2_method Could not create Cumulus repository.

Can it be easily fixed? We really need to upgrade our infrastructure but we do not want to drop nimbus.

João, thank you for reporting this problem. It can be solved easily, and I will soon commit the fix.
