Yep. I couldn't find the base-system version. I don't want kerberos/des,
and these seem to be the only distributions containing libssl. And I
don't even know *which* one has it. Since I installed scrypto by
mistake, I tried making it by hand (make world is not an option to me),
and failed.
In any case, do not claim that OpenSSL is installed unless it *IS*
installed.
