** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ * Cannot create a CA or cert using easy-rsa.
+ * Cannot complete the steps described in Ubuntu Server Guide:
+ https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/openvpn.html
+
+ [Test Case]
+ 1. After installing openvpn package, execute following commands:
+ $ sudo -i
+ # mkdir /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/
+ # cp -r /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0/* /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/
+ # cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/
+ # source vars
+ 2. Then hit an error:
+ **************************************************************
+ No /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/openssl.cnf file could be found
+ Further invocations will fail
+ **************************************************************
+ NOTE: If you run ./clean-all, I will be doing a rm -rf on /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys
+ 3. update the package to -proposed one
+ 4. verify we don't hit the error in step 2 and we can execute "./build-ca" with no error.
+
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * minimal
+ The patch makes last [[:alnum:]] as optional, nothing will be narrowed down.
+
+ [Other Info]
+
+ * trusty and raring are not affected:
+ - trusty has upstream fix already in easy-rsa package cut off from openvpn package.
+ * quantal is also not affected:
+ - quantal's openssl can be parsed without a patch.
+
+
+ -- original description --
+
/usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0/whichopensslcnf contains
elif $OPENSSL version | grep -E "1\.0\.([[:digit:]][[:alnum:]])" >
/dev/null; then
which won't match the openssl version in precise
$ openssl version
