It is especially important to upgrade if you currently have version 0.9.0 installed and are using the graphical interface OR you are using bitcoind from any pre-0.9.1 version, and have enabled SSL for RPC and have configured allowip to allow rpc connections from potentially hostile hosts.

Looks like you have to do it by hand, like this guy here:

How can I Upgrade my Bitcoin QT?

I use Linux Ubunto and I don't know what to do.

Being a noob myself I asked the same question (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=562400.msg6146151#msg6146151) and got no answer here. Just to have it clear I was using bitcoin 0.9.0 from Ubuntu PPA and
had my libssl1.0.0 updated however in the debug window it still showed old/insecure version of OpenSSL.

So here is what I did:

-First thing first back up ur wallet.
-Shut down your client.
-Now make a backup of your current bitcoin-qt executable/shared library which should be in /usr/bin

Code:

cd /usr/bin
sudo mv bitcoin-qt bitcoin-qt.bckup

-Download and verify bitcoin-0.9.1-linux.tar.gz (https://bitcoin.org/bin/0.9.1/bitcoin-0.9.1-linux.tar.gz)
-Navigate to your Home directory

Code:

cd ~

-and then to Downloads

Code:

cd Downloads

-unzip what you've downloaded

Code:

tar xvzf bitcoin-0.9.1-linux.tar.gz

-Navigate to just unzipped directory

Code:

cd bitcoin-0.9.1-linux

-and then depending on whether your system is 32 or 64 do

Code:

cd bin/32

/* alternatively if your system is 64 do */

cd bin/64

-copy bitcoin-qt from this directory to /usr/bin

Code:

sudo cp bitcoin-qt /usr/bin

-start your client the usual way.

Hope it helps...
