Why do you say your rpm install would fail?  It should find
the library
and carry on accordingly. Have you tried it?

While that would functionally work, my RPM install would
still fail --
unless I use --force, I suppose.  That's ugly, though, as
we don't
have --force written into any of our scripts, crontabs,
Cfengine
rules, etc., and don't want to.  I'm looking for a way to
do this
"politely," I guess.

Yes, I have tried it.  It fails because libcrypto.so.0.9.7
isn't in
the RPM database, even though it exists.

It appears that rebuilding this RPM (and any others like it)
from
source will be my best option.
