This warning occurs because OpenSSL 1.0.1 and OpenSSL 1.0.2 do not
provide symbol version information (the forthcoming OpenSSL 1.1.0 does
do this BTW) but the application you are running is expecting those
symbol versions to be present.

Most distros do not provide out-of-the-box OpenSSL. Instead they
normally add some of their own patches on top. At least Debian adds a
patch to include symbol version info and, from your description, it
sounds like other distros do this too.

Applications linked against a version of the library which includes
symbol versions will complain if you try to run them with a version that
doesn't have that information.

The distros will typically update the OS patched version of OpenSSL with
security updates from upstream OpenSSL, so normally there is no reason
to upgrade the "letter" version of an OS supplied OpenSSL with an
upstream version unless:
1) there are specific bug fixes you wish to obtain that have not been
incorporated in the OS supplied version
or
2) you wish to use specific compilation options different to that used
in the OS version
or
3) you wish to do a "number" upgrade such as 1.0.1 to 1.0.2

If you decide to install from upstream then it is usually preferable to
install it in some other location to that used by the OS (e.g. keep it
in /usr/local/ssl). That way apps that need to use the upstream version
can use that version, but all the other system supplied apps can use the
OS version. Otherwise you run into problems where some apps are
expecting symbol version info (e.g. system supplied apps) whereas others
are not.

If your app is linked against the OS supplied version, and you now wish
to use the upstream version then you will need to relink your app
against the new library so that it no longer uses the symbol versioning
information.
