trying to resolve dependencies!!! (libcrypto.so.4)

[Harry Hoffman]

Bruce,

why don't you try installing the redhat-rpmdb. If you apps are redhat specific
it should allow rpm to list suggestions for you packages to install. This way
when you attempt to install foo.rpm rpm and it depends on bar.so.3 rpm looks up
bar.so.3 in the rpm db and says "Oh, you need to install libbar.rpm".
Again, it only works for Redhat specific apps.

HTH,
Harry

*> required by 20-30 other apps!!!!
*> 
*> so, how should one go about trying to update their system!!!!
*> 
*> right now, we're fearful that we've totally screwed this up...
