Hi,
I'm doing the big upgrade along with everyone else right now :)

I'm working with redhat 7.1 on i386.

I built an rpm from the .spec file in the distribution as noone has yet to
release an rpm for 0.9.6e (to my knowledge).  When I try to install the
rpms (all of the openssl binary rpms and a couple layers of
dependencies) I get:

        libssl.so.2   is needed by lynx-2.8.4-18
        libcrypto.so.2   is needed by mutt-1.2.5.1-1
        libssl.so.2   is needed by mutt-1.2.5.1-1
        libcrypto.so.2   is needed by nss_ldap-189-2

        libcrypto.so.2   is needed by pine-4.44-7
        libssl.so.2   is needed by pine-4.44-7
        libcrypto.so.2   is needed by python-1.5.2-38
        libssl.so.2   is needed by python-1.5.2-38

That list is actually much longer, but I thought i'd spare you those
details.

It is my belief that the .spec file should be changed like this:

[root@azul openssl-0.9.6e]# diff -u openssl.spec openssl.spec.orig 
--- openssl.spec        Thu Aug  8 16:18:20 2002
+++ openssl.spec.orig   Thu Aug  8 16:28:57 2002

I've only added that it "Provides" libssl.so.2 and libcrypto.so.2.

Thanks for looking into this (or telling me that i'm a fool ;)
