[ale] openssl dependency hell

[jcphil at mindspring.com (Jim)]

"I started out doing some simple upgrades..." So begins the story of man RPM 
nightmares. Among the many libraries required to do the upgrades is 
libssl.so.4 and libcrypto.so.4. Fair enough. Those are in 
openssl-0.9.7a-1.i386.rpm and the corresponding devel package. But if I 
install that, I'm losing libssl.so.2 and libcrypto.so.2 and dozens of 
packages on my system depend on those libraries. In fact, some of those 
packages depending on *.so.2 were just downloaded from Rawhide this week. So, 
how do I make the upgrade without wrecking and rebuilding half of the stuff 
on my box? This is a RedHat 7.3 box with so many upgrades that it is more 
like 8.0, but that hasn't been a problem up until now.
