It affects everything depending on libcrypto. If dependency file
exists, the ports system will substitute the package that installed
it for the dependency set in the port.

It's something in bsd.port.mk that goes wrong and /thinks/ linux-eagle5
installs a file that it actually doesn't.

Install linux-eagle5 and you can reproduce it.
