    Description:


    This update delivers an additional a wget version built against openssl1
    to enable TLS 1.2 support for https downloads. (FATE#320164 bsc#968724)

    The main wget package is also updated to use update-alternatives to switch
    between the version built against openssl 0.9.8j and the one using openssl
    1.0.1.

    The original wget package includes /usr/bin/wget.openssl0 and
    /usr/bin/wget links to this binary by default.

    A new package wget-openssl1 is supplied via the SECURITY module, including
    a /usr/bin/wget.openssl1 binary.

    To switch /usr/bin/wget to use openssl 1.0.1 and so support TLS 1.2 in
    https connections use:

    update-alternatives --set wget /usr/bin/wget.openssl1

    to switch back, use:

    update-alternatives --set wget /usr/bin/wget.openssl0

    to display the current state use:

    update-alternatives --display wget
