Hmmm... have I got this right yet?

If you installed the crypto distribution, you've got OpenSSL in the
base system and therefore the webmin port should install without error.

If you haven't installed the crypto distro, then when installing the
webmin port you will be told that you need to install OpenSSL.
At this point one might find OpenSSL in the ports and try to install it.
The OpenSSL port will tell you that it is already installed as part of
the system, even though it is not (because you didn't install the
crypto distro).

If this is the correct picture, then it would be less confusing if one
or both error messages indicated that it refers specifically to the
crypto distribution of the base system.
