I noticed this problem yesterday and tried to fix it but had no luck.
Now I've run

  apt-get update
  apt-get upgrade

again today and this installed new libssl0.9.8 and openssl packages.
Now it seems to be working for me.  Does it work now for you?

BTW, the central archive is the one on savannah, and is the one that
other contributors also push to, so you should use the savannah
archive if possible.  The archive on velveeta is a mirror of the
savannah archive, but it is only updated when I push changes there.
