openssl upgrade, libcrypto, libssl confusion

[Oleg Moskalenko]

Anton, 

I use mostly static openssl libraries, but I suppose it applies to the dynamic ones, too: with any OpenSSL version (including 1.0.1c), you need libcrypto and libssl. With the new OpenSSL version, you need the new library versions, and you must recompile your binary code to use the new dynamic libraries (because there probably some headers incompatibilities between the versions). You just misunderstood the release notes. Do not delete the library, just re-install the new version.

Regards,
Oleg
