Hadn't noticed revdep-rebuild before. It still gave me errors regarding some packages to be re-emerged but they don't seem to do with my original problem.

I got confused from two things. 1. even though the version is 0.9.8 all I could find was 0.9.7 2. most of the files were installed in /usr/local/ssl So I did symbolic links and tried downgrade to 0.9.7. At some point I even uninstalled openssl entirely which disabled my machine almost entirely so I had to restore libssl from backup (but it was older version). > >> Since then, I have to keep links in /usr/lib that will link >> libssl.so.0.9.8 -> libssl.so.0.9.7 and similar for libcrypto. >> > > It sound like you may need to run revdep-rebuild, as mentioned in the > elog output from the openssl merge. > > > -- Regards.
