there is a problem with the new openssl097a package.
 it doesnt actually provide openssl = 0.9.7a as required by things
like current kdelibs in rawhide... at least its a problem until
everything in rawhide is rebuilt to require the new openssl.

rpm -q --provides -p openssl097a-0.9.7a-1.i386.rpm
libcrypto.so.4
libssl.so.4
openssl097a = 0.9.7a-1

rpm -q --provides -p openssl-0.9.7e-2.i386.rpm
config(openssl) = 0.9.7e-2
libcrypto.so.5
libssl.so.5
openssl = 0.9.7e-2

rpm -q --provides openssl-0.9.7a-46   as installed on my rawhide
system right now
config(openssl) = 0.9.7a-46
libcrypto.so.4
libssl.so.4
openssl = 0.9.7a-46

rpm -q --requires -p kdelibs-3.4.0-0.rc1.2.i386.rpm
<snip>
openssl = 0.9.7a
<snip>
libcrypto.so.5

rpm -q --requires kdelibs on my rawhide system right now.
openssl = 0.9.7a
libcrypto.so.4

whether this is a packaging bug or whether this is just a symptom of
an inconsistent rawhide tree is an open question. But certaintly right
now up2date, nor yum, nor rpm cli can resolve the issue.. simply
because nothing in the rawhide tree at the moment actually provides
openssl = 0.9.7a-X .

It also doesnt help that kdelibs-3.4.0-0.rc1.2.i386.rpm in rawhide at the moment
requires libcrypto.so.5... basically meaning that right now kdelibs in
rawhide requires
openssl-0.9.7e and requires openssl-0.9.7a simultaneously.  

Not sure how to file this.. this is rather amusing. Someone certaintly
needs to file something as a bug report.
