urgh, yes, that's practically guaranteed to crash LibreOffice which could pull in openssl via neon, python-stmp, postgresql-libs, openldap, curl, librdf, any gnome-vfs backend, and probably other ways i'm not aware of. the only safe way to provide a compat openssl package is as a -devel package that only contains a static library :P -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
