The md5 file contains an md5 checksum of the openssl package.
To verify the package use
md5sum openssl-0.9.6b.tar.gz
The result of the above should match the md5 file. I'm not so sure about why
you can't add the pgp signature. It makes no difference AFAIK that the
version of the signature is 2.6.3ia.
