That's not right. Using an RPM I happen to have laying around locally: $ sudo rpm -Uvh calc-2.12.6.4-1.fc28.x86_64.rpm calc-libs-2.12.6.4-1.fc28.x86_64.rpm Preparing... #################################[100%] Updating / installing... 1:calc-libs-2.12.6.4-1.fc28 #################################[ 50%] 2:calc-2.12.6.4-1.fc28 #################################[100%] Running as unit: run-r2bdbfad8c99945d2ba8a7f60f0379e9d.service $ rpm -q calc calc-2.12.6.4-1.fc28.x86_64 $ dnf list calc Last metadata expiration check: 21:08:06 ago on Wed 17 Jan 2018 11:31:05 AM EST.

Those perl packages _also_ use OpenSSL (they even say so in the Fedora package descriptions) and they're just named SSLeay for historical reasons. They're red herrings in _this_ situation. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
