[ILUG] Package dependencies

[Declan Grady]

Uh Oh.
I got an openssl-0.9.6-9.i386.rpm, but now failing dependencies ?

error: failed dependencies:
	libcrypto.so.0 is needed by cyrus-sasl-1.5.24-6
	libcrypto.so.0 is needed by fetchmail-5.5.0-2

I assume this is in trying to upgrade from libcrypto.so.0 to libcrypto.so.1 and same for libssl 

I thought I didnt understand this stuff, and now I'm sure of it !

Any ideas how to overcome this ?

Cheers,
Declan
