Here is my not-too-dirty solution: I built an RPM package of openssl0.9.8l that also contains the old libraries libssl0.9.7a and libcrypto0.9.7a (with the according symlink libssl.so.4 and libcrypto.so.4). That way all RPM dependencies are ok, all old applications still run and we have openssl 0.9.8l available. I do not know if there could be a problem with other "devel" packages (because only the new includes of openssl 0.9.8l exist). Then I erased the old openssl and openssl-devel (--nodeps) and installed the new packages (I did not try the "update" option of "rpm"). I could provide the spec file for the source RPM if someone asks me... Cheers, Olaf Olaf, I'd appreciate the spec file. You're right about RHEL 4. However, we're going to face some other issues down the road. Wish it was merely a technical matter... Thanks! Leam
