First, my post is about installing Zimbra (4.5.5) on Debian Etch (4.0), although the Zimbra-packages are designed for Debian Sarge (3.1). So obviously some changes are needed.

Lots of people including myself run on Etch using Sarge binaries, no modification to the OS is necessary except for the version file. I think a default install of Etch will provide both versions of openssl, if you don't have both then do:
apt-get install libssl0.9.7
There's a sticky thread at the top of this forum for Etch, if you could add procedure for installing on a minimal install I'm sure that would be appreciated by lots of people.
How to install Zimbra Debian 3.1 binaries on Debian Etch 4.0 [Workaround] Quote:
It seems that the etch crypto libraries in question (0.9.8 )are perfectly compatible with the old ones (0.9.7). Of course I could have installed the older version by hand also, but there seems no particular reason to go through all that, since the Zimbra server runs just fine with the new libraries.
Therefore the symbolic links are not bodges, but tested to be ok on a system that runs with all the features I can think of.

Openssl 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 is a major release difference despite the numbering (they use letters for minor versions)! The lib APIs are different hence the lib increment, I promise you symlinking like you have done WILL provide unforseen fun and games at some point in the future
In general libs should never be symlinked unless you are intimitately familiar with the APIs.
