I don't know if it's a real conflict or a packaging artifact that could
be reverted.
AIUI it's usually a real conflict. -devel packages for different
versions of the same library are allowed and usually expected to
conflict (for one thing, they both likely want to own the unversioned
.so for the libraries themselves - e.g. /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so . It's
only really a bug if the non-development library packages conflict.

Is there a particular reason you need both -devel packages installed at
the same time? Are you saying you only have one installed, but
upgrading is trying to add the other for some reason?
I had both -devel packages installed previously and they apparently started to conflict very recently. Normally I have -devel packages either because they were pulled in as dependencies, or because I was compiling something else that required their .h files or something like that. I don't remember which one was the case here, but please note that 1040 packages require openssl-devel and 265 packages require compat-openssl10-devel as reported by "dnf repoquery --whatrequires xxxxxx". I believe that most of those dependencies are specified as 'one or another' which is why this situation can be resolved by allowing erase of openssl-devel. This is actually suspicious---I think it DOES matter which openssl version we're compiling/linking against, and applications have to be ported, if ever so slightly, from 1.0 to 1.1... but I don't really know the situation here.
