Subject:   OpenSSL Version Conflict
Message-ID:  <44597344.90604@eldocomp.com>

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.s=
o.4.
=20These have the same SHLIB_MAJOR, and so ldconfig builds a hint for '-lcry=
pto.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 ca=
uses
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 crea=
te a
bit of OpenSSL chaos.

Who else has run into this?  What's the resolution?
