Bitcoin wallet dump is only giving me public keys and not the private key

@accerqueira, it seems like tnat wallet backups generated with recent Bitcoin wallet' updates require an additional openssl parameter (-md md5) to decrypt the wallet:

openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -md md5 -a -in ${WALLET} > ${WALLET_DEC}
