People who have both libssl.so.8 and libssl.so.7 from both openssl port 
and base have libssl.so.7 from base coming through libcurl.so (run ldd 
-a to see this). Some update to curl during March caused curl to link to 
base when openssl port is requested there. Rolling curl back to Mar 1 
version removes libssl.so duplicate, but doesn't fix virtualbox.

For me VirtualBox breaks with some strange message about environment 
corruption. And on the simplified environment it freezes on some mutex 
wait. Totally broken, caused by some updates 1-2 weeks ago.
