Subject: Openssl Upgrade Producing "Cipher is not a class (TypeError"

Hi guys,

I am having a really annoying problem trying to start my webrick server.

It has got to do with the openssl bindings for ruby. I recently
performed an upgrade of the following packages:

libopenssl-ruby1.8 (1.8.7.72-1ubuntu0.1) to 1.8.7.72-1ubuntu0.2
libreadline-ruby1.9 (1.9.0.2-7ubuntu1.1) to 1.9.0.2-7ubuntu1.2
libruby1.8 (1.8.7.72-1ubuntu0.1) to 1.8.7.72-1ubuntu0.2
libruby1.9 (1.9.0.2-7ubuntu1.1) to 1.9.0.2-7ubuntu1.2
ruby1.8-dev (1.8.7.72-1ubuntu0.1) to 1.8.7.72-1ubuntu0.2

and now when I start my webrick server I get the following error:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/openssl/cipher.rb:22: Cipher is not a class
(TypeError)

My ruby version is:

ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i686-linux]


I am running Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10

I have tried to downgrade to the previous packages, but I am not sure if
I did it correclty.

I am about to pull my hair out, if anybody can stop this from happening
I would greatly appreciate it.

thanks,

Lee
