It has been brought to my attention by the community that package "openipmi" is build without openssl.
Taken from "openipmi-2.0.18" source code:
--
filename:debian/rules
---
23 config.status: configure
24 dh_testdir
25 dh_autotools-dev_updateconfig
26 # Add here commands to configure the package.
27 CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)" ./configure --host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) \
28 --build=$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) \
29 --prefix=/usr \
==> 30 --without-openssl \
31 --mandir=\$${prefix}/share/man \
32 --infodir=\$${prefix}/share/info \
33 --disable-rpath
--
This prevent some third applications to work as expected such as Zabbix[1]
There is debian bug[2] filed on 20 Jan 2015 16:57:01 UTC
