Ok, sorry for dragging this topic on further, but I guess I'm dense and I 
don't understand packaging and versioning.

If I have openssl-0.9.6-9 on my system (containing libcrypto.so.1), doesn't 
that imply that I have a newer version of openssl than the version I've been 
seeking, openssl-0.9.6b-8 (containing libcrypto.so.2). What exactly is this 
numbering scheme - does the "b" stand for "beta" and the last digit the 
release number? If all this is true, why does the older openssl-0.9.6b-8 
contain this newer libcrypto.so.2?! I'm losing me mind.

Some system info:

-- version of openssl on my system
# rpm -q openssl
openssl-0.9.6-9

-- libcrypto library it contains
# rpm -q openssl -l | grep libcrypto
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6

-- other libcryptos on my system
# locate -r libcrypto.so.*
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.5a
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0
