trying to install openssl-devel

Hi there,

I am using redhat 7.3 and I am trying to install openssl-devel-0.9.6b-18.i386.rpm but I get the following error message when I try to install:

error: failed dependencies:
openssl = 0.9.6b-18 is needed by openssl-devel-0.9.6b-18

The thing that confuses me most is that when I check my machine it says that openssl-0.9.6m-2.src.rpm is already installed. I notice that this is a different version than the one openssl-devel requires, but the build date of
"openssl-0.9.6m-2.src.rpm" is Tue Jun 1 14:01:14 2004 and is actually newer than the build date of "openssl-0.9.6b-35.7.i386.rpm" which is 2003/Sep/24 21:24:27 .

I hessitate to install the older version, "openssl-0.9.6b-35.7.i386.rpm" on top of my existing newer version, "openssl-0.9.6m-2.src.rpm".

Is this anything to be worried about? I'm just worried that if I install the older version on top of the newer version it'll overwrite some files and something will stop working on my machine, because I don't know what other dependencies are depending on my existing version on my machine at the moment.

NAME
rpmcache - Cache RPM Package Headers SYNOPSIS
rpmcache [ PACKAGE_NAME ... ] DESCRIPTION
rpmcache walks a file tree, possibly remotely using FTP, filtering paths using glob(7) expressions, reading rpm package headers. The latest (i.e. comparing package epoch/version/release for identical package names and using the build time as a tie breaker) package headers, if they are unique, are cached in an rpm database. The rpm database cache can be used to provide suggested paths to packages that resolve unknown dependencies. There are no rpmcache specific options, only common rpm options. See the rpmcache usage message for what is currently implemented. The file tree path to be searched is configured using rpm macros. The final path is the concatentaion of 5 individual elements. Here are the macro names used to configure rpmcache, in the same order that they will be concatenated to build the file tree path that will be walked: %_bhpath The "path" level contains the leading part of the file tree path (or URL) for the file tree to be walked. No glob(7) expressions, here, please. %_bhcoll The "collection" level contains a string (or glob(7) expression) to match sub-directories of %_bhpath. %_bhN The "name" level contains a string (or glob(7) expression) to match sub-directories of %_bhcoll. The PACKAGE_NAME arguments are used to construct a glob(7) expression that will match any of specific package names within the Red Hat build system, and are almost certainly not of use to anyone outside of Red Hat. %_bhVR The "version-release" level contains a string (or glob(7) expression) to match sub-directories of %_bhN. %_bhA The "arch" level contains a string (or glob(7) expression) to match sub-directories of %_bhVR. The location of the cache database is also configured using an rpm macro: %_cache_dbpath The location of the cache database. The default value is /var/spool/up2date/cache. The cache database is identical in format to an rpm database, and can be used with rpm from the command line. For example, to use the cache database to provide suggestions for packages that provide dependencies needed by a package install, the following macro should be config- ured in either /etc/rpm/macros or ~/.rpmmacros: %_solve_dbpath The location of the database that is used to provide suggested dependency resolutions. Example (minimal) configuration for a Red Hat beehive tree: %_cache_dbpath /var/spool/up2date/cache %_solve_dbpath %{_cache_dbpath} %_bhpath file://localhost/mnt/redhat/beehive/comps/dist %_bhcoll 7.3 %_bhN @(basesystem|bash|filesystem|glibc-common|glibc|ldconfig|libtermcap|mktemp|setup|termcap) %_bhVR * %_bhA @(i[3456]86|noarch) Example (minimal) configuration for a Red Hat FTP tree: %_cache_dbpath /var/spool/up2date/cache %_solve_dbpath %{_cache_dbpath} %_bhpath ftp://localhost/mnt/dist %_bhcoll @(7.3|7.2|7.1|7.0|6.2|6.1|6.0|5.2|5.1|5.0) %_bhN @(%{_arch}) %_bhVR * %_bhA @(i[3456]86|noarch) BUGS
