This can mean that you have configured a repository which upgrades something in a way which removes the packages which provide libssl.so.5 and libcrypto.so.5. > What is puzzling (to me) is that I have libssl.so.5 and libcrypto.so.5 , eg > ================================================ > [root@alfred tim]# locate libssl.so.5 > /lib/libssl.so.5 > [root@alfred tim]# ls -ls /lib/libssl.so.5 > 4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jun 14 20:10 /lib/libssl.so.5 -> > libssl.so.0.9.7f > [root@alfred tim]# rpm -qf /lib/libssl.so.5 > file /lib/libssl.so.5 is not owned by any package > ================================================ > > As far as I can see, files installed by a package as symbolic links > are not regarded as belonging to the package? It is a minor packaging bug. The openssl package ought to include the link, too. The link is created and maintained by ldconfig. But your query is wrong anyway. The dependencies you see are on "libssl.so.5", which is not a file, but a "shared object name": $ rpm --query --whatprovides libssl.so.5 openssl-0.9.7f-7
