I'm not sure why you'd want to run the query against a package that isn't installed (that's what the p option does). Surely he wants to check it is installed, then use "rpm -ql openssl |more" to see where the files are now?
One reason to check whether your distro has openssl already installed is so that you don't have issues where your programs are executing the wrong version. It's surprising how many times that happens. You might also find that the distro version is sufficient for your needs too, especially now the engine code is included.
