Doesn't work for me. Emerge prints:

```
[blocks B      ] dev-libs/openssl:0 ("dev-libs/openssl:0" is blocking
dev-libs/libressl-3.3.1)

Total: 37 packages (1 new, 36 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
Conflict: 1 block (1 unsatisfied)
(...)
```

I think you have to remove libressl first, like `emerge -C libressl`,
then install openssl like `emerge -1 openssl`, then rebuild
dependencies. As described here but in opposite way:
