[Bug 1899878] Re: Python's test_ssl fails starting from Ubuntu 20.04

[Kurt Roeckx]

There are 3 things that can possibly returned by such a function:
1) The value that's set as minimum/maximum
2) The minimum and maximum version that's supported by the library, not depending on settings
3) The minimum and maximum version that's supported by the library, depending on current settings

The function now does 1), and you seem to want 3). And I'm not sure it's
a good idea to change the function, I would prefer a new function.

Title:
  Python's test_ssl fails starting from Ubuntu 20.04

Status in openssl package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Please take a look at https://bugs.python.org/issue41561. Developers
  who work on Python think that the issue is due to a change in Ubuntu
  20.04 that is best described by
  https://bugs.python.org/issue41561#msg378089:

  "It sounds like a Debian/Ubuntu patch is breaking an assumption. Did
  somebody report the bug with Debian/Ubuntu maintainers of OpenSSL
  already? Fedora also configures OpenSSL with minimum protocol version
  of TLS 1.2. The distribution does it in a slightly different way that
  makes the restriction discoverable and that is compatible with
  Python's test suite."
