Thank you so much, your advice cured my machine. Hadn't noticed revdep-rebuild before.

It still gave me errors regarding some packages to be re-emerged but they don't seem to do with my original problem.

I screwed up my openssl installation.

How? some details may be useful.
Originally I thought it's too long of a story to tell but...
I got confused from two things.
1. even though the version is 0.9.8 all I could find was 0.9.7
2. most of the files were installed in /usr/local/ssl

So I did symbolic links and tried downgrade to 0.9.7. At some point I even uninstalled openssl entirely which disabled my machine almost entirely so I had to restore libssl from backup (but it was older version).
Since then, I have to keep links in /usr/lib that will link
libssl.so.0.9.8 -> libssl.so.0.9.7 and similar for libcrypto.

It sound like you may need to run revdep-rebuild, as mentioned in the
elog output from the openssl merge.
