SUMMARY OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH
---------------------------------------
Patch ID: 3.6.6.1
* 3982281 (3982282) When commands that need openssl are run on a SLES 12 SP4 system, the following error is logged: "/opt/VRTSpython/openssl/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0: no version information available."


DETAILS OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH
---------------------------------------
This patch fixes the following incidents:

Patch ID: 3.6.6.1

* 3982281 (Tracking ID: 3982282)

SYMPTOM:
When commands that need openssl are run on a SLES 12 SP4 system, the following error is logged: "/opt/VRTSpython/openssl/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0: no version information available."

DESCRIPTION:
This issue occurs on SLES 12 SP4 systems that have a higher version of openssl (1.0.0p) installed while the VRTSpython package itself contains a lower version of openssl (1.0.0o). The VRTSpython adds the path "/opt/VRTSpython/openssl" in the ld.so.conf file, because the older version of openssl is built with dynamic linking. When other system commands are run on such a configuration, they fail to seek the openssl version, because the path of the lower version of openssl gets picked first.

RESOLUTION:
This hotfix provides the VRTSpython package with static linking so that the openssl path entry is not added to the ld.so.conf file.
