Linux ldconfig seems to be confused by the idea of "most recent" between
versions 0.9.5a and 0.9.6a of openssl.
I'm not sure exactly how ldconfig determines "most recent", but it insists
on changing the link "/usr/lib/libssl.so.0 -> libssl.so.0.9.6" to
"/usr/lib/libssl.so.0 -> libssl.so.0.9.5", which breaks things like openssh.
My version 0.9.5a is from the RedHat source rpm, and version 0.9.6a is compiled
straight from the openssl-0.9.6a.

DESCRIPTION
ldconfig creates the necessary links and cache (for use by
the run-time linker, ld.so) to the most recent shared
libraries found in the directories specified on the com
mand line, in the file /etc/ld.so.conf, and in the trusted
directories (/usr/lib and /lib). ldconfig checks the
header and file names of the libraries it encounters when
determining which versions should have their links
updated. ldconfig ignores symbolic links when scanning
for libraries.

This is a modified ldconfig.c for glibc 2 based on ldconfig.c in ld.so
1.9.10. It should be copied to libc/elf in the glibc 2 source tree by
hand. The glibc 2 configure/build/install processes will pick it up
automatically. A pre-compiled static x86/ELF binary, ldconfig, should
work for both glibc 2 and libc 5. ldconfig should be copied to /sbin.
