WARN: postinst
Old versions of installed libraries were detected on your system.
In order to avoid breaking packages that depend on these old libs,
the libraries are not being removed. You need to run revdep-rebuild
in order to remove these old dependencies. If you do not have this
helper program, simply emerge the 'gentoolkit' package.
# revdep-rebuild --library libcrypto.so.0.9.7
# revdep-rebuild --library libssl.so.0.9.7
