If you’ve ever required OpenSSL support enabled for MySQL Server 5.0 under debian, then you will need to recompile MySQL. Under Debian this is very easy.
First you will need to download the package source, as root type the following:
cd /root
mkdir build
cd build
apt-get source mysql-source-5.0
The above commands will create a folder called ‘build’, enter the directory and then download the mysql-server-5.0 package source. The following are the results under an Ubuntu server:
[root@jager:/root/builds]# apt-get source mysql-server-5.0

If you list the directory contents you should have something like this:
[root@jager:/root/builds]# ls -al
total 16408K
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-10-30 13:08 ./
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 2007-10-30 13:06 ../
drwxr-xr-x 39 root root 4096 2007-10-30 13:08 mysql-dfsg-5.0-5.0.38/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 148883 2007-10-10 14:11 mysql-dfsg-5.0_5.0.38-0ubuntu1.1.diff.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1209 2007-10-10 14:11 mysql-dfsg-5.0_5.0.38-0ubuntu1.1.dsc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16602385 2007-04-03 05:03 mysql-dfsg-5.0_5.0.38.orig.tar.gz
Before we proceed we need to make sure that we have all of the necessary tools to compile the new packages and create the .deb:
apt-get install devscripts build-essential fakeroot
You will also want to make sure that you have any dependencies that the package would require:
apt-get build-dep mysql-server-5.0
Now that we have everything we need, we just need to make a modification to the file “mysql-dfsg-5.0-5.0.38/debian/rules” with your favorite editor. Search for the following lines within the file:
--without-openssl
--with-yassl
And change the lines to the below:
--with-openssl
--without-yassl
Basically you’re enabling OpenSSL and disabling YaSSL, make sure that you have OpenSSL installed (apt-get install openssl). Once you’ve finished editing the file, save it and exit out of the editor.
You will then want to start the compiling and build of the Debian packages, run the following command within the “mysql-dfsg-5.0-5.0.3” directory like so:
[root@jager:/root/builds/mysql-dfsg-5.0-5.0.3]# debuild -us -uc
Everything should process properly, and you should end up with a handful of .deb packages within “/root/builds”:
[root@jager:/root/builds]# ls -al

Just run dpkg -i *.deb and all should be good!
