[Bug 359309] Re: mysql client package has broken SSL support

[Bryan Jacobs]

That upstream bug looks likely to be the cause.  I don't use client
certificates.  But regardless of the source of the error, shouldn't
Ubuntu build its package in a way that works rather than one that
doesn't?  OpenSSL is already installed on the stock system (even openssh
relies on libssl) - does YaSSL provide some compelling advantage?  What
rationale was there for building MySQL against an alternative library?
I doubt that whoever made that decision reasoned it through; if they
had, they would probably have tested the most common use case for SSL
connections and made sure the two libraries could be interchanged.

I think the right solution here is to switch MySQL to build against
OpenSSL rather than yassl, in the absence of an upstream recommendation
or a solid rationale for making the opposite decision.
