If that is the case, then install from source, this way you do not have to wait for SuSE to get their RPM's quality assured and updated...
There is a lot of software I compile and install from source, like Apache or Postfix, but OpenSSL is a slightly different matter. Imagine me fumbling the installation of new SSL libraries on a remotely managed server to which I have no physical access at all because it is hosted several hundred km away. If the SSH Daemon fails after my update, I'm in trouble, because I have no direct console access for repairs. That's why, when it comes to OpenSSL, I'd rather use SuSE's official RPMs. Of course, SuSE is not dutybound to provide the latest and greatest OpenSSL as RPMs. If SuSE decides to stick to version 0.9.7d, I might have to take the risk I described above. :-/ -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Sincerely Dipl.
