I very recently (last weekend) upgraded my 5.4 system to 6.1-RC1 and soon discovered a conflict between the base OpenSSL version and the ports OpenSSL version. The base version is 0.9.7e-p1 and installs /lib/libcrypto.so.4. The ports version (security/openssl) is 0.9.8a and installs /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.4. These have the same SHLIB_MAJOR, and so ldconfig builds a hint for '-lcrypto.4' that points to the library in /usr/local/lib. Also, /usr/bin/ssh (which is linked against libcrypto.so.4) finds the library in /usr/local/lib. This causes scp and ssh to choke and die since they do a sanity check on the library version. I've worked around this for the time being, but two completely different release levels of OpenSSL using the same SHLIB_MAJOR tends to create a bit of OpenSSL chaos. Who else has run into this? What's the resolution?
