That's not right. Using an RPM I happen to have laying around locally:

$ sudo rpm -Uvh calc-2.12.6.4-1.fc28.x86_64.rpm
calc-libs-2.12.6.4-1.fc28.x86_64.rpm

This isn't right either -- SSLeay is the precursor to OpenSSL. It's
OpenSSL that's needed. Those perl packages _also_ use OpenSSL (they
even say so in the Fedora package descriptions) and they're just named
SSLeay for historical reasons. They're red herrings in _this_
situation.
