I'm trying to install openssl-0.9.6-9.i386.rpm, on RH 7.0 and I'm getting a
dependency problem with libcrypto and libssl. It says it needs
libcrypto.so.0 and libssl.so.0.
Instead of installing that package, you need to install openssl095a which
is a "binary-compatibility" package. It will give you the new functionality
you want without breaking dependencies and was created to avoid the precise
problem you have now. It's in the 7.1 RPMS directory if I recall correctly.
