The libraries are there, but not with the name "libcrypto.so.0"
unfortunately, which is a bit of a pain. The library symlinks are called
"libcrypto.so.1" instead.
The easiest way to fix this is to go to the directory where
libcrypto.so.0.9.6 lives and create a symbolic link to it called
"libcrypto.so.0". Do the same with libssl too. Then run ldconfig, and
try and install the package with --nodeps.
I think rebuilding the rpm database with rpm --rebuilddb should also
pick up this change, and should allow you to install the package without
needing the --nodeps option - but I am not sure.
I am not sure of the reason why the symlinked library names were changed
from .0 to .1 (and .2) - a better idea might be to rebuild the package
you are trying to install from .src.rpm using rpm --rebuild to make sure
it links up correctly with the version of SSL you have installed.
