Peter Palfrader 5b3efdbec3 * New upstream version.
* Conflict with old libssls.
* On upgrading from versions prior to, including, 0.1.2.19-2, or
  from versions later than 0.2.0 and prior to 0.2.0.26-rc do the
  following, and if we are a server (we have a /var/lib/tor/keys
  directory)
  - move /var/lib/tor/keys/secret_onion_key out of the way.
  - move /var/lib/tor/keys/secret_onion_key.old out of the way.
  - move /var/lib/tor/keys/secret_id_key out of the way if it was
    created on or after 2006-09-17, which is the day the bad
    libssl was uploaded to Debian unstable.
* Add a NEWS file explaining this change.

tor (0.2.0.26-rc-1) experimental; urgency=critical
* weak cryptographic keys
It has been discovered that the random number generator in Debian's
openssl package is predictable. This is caused by an incorrect
Debian-specific change to the openssl package (CVE-2008-0166). As a
result, cryptographic key material may be guessable.
See Debian Security Advisory number 1571 (DSA-1571) for more information:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00152.html
If you run a Tor server using this package please see
