But the version number and binary interface is different between the versions
from Red Hat 7.1 to Red Hat 7.3. That's why you get dependency errors -- the
version from 7.3 wants libssl of a newer version than the libssl of Red Hat
7.1.
IIRC, 7.1 shipped with OpenSSL 0.9.5a, and 7.3 shipped 0.9.6b. Those two are
quite a bit different -- different enough so that Red Hat 7.3 includes the
0.9.5 RPMs as part of its install, and installs them in parallel with the
0.9.6b set.
Library versioning in upstream packages is a major headache for
distributors/packagers.
