I see what you mean.

I found libpcap-0.7.1-2.i386.rpm and successfully installed it. I tried:

rpm -i ethereal-0.9.5-2.i386.rpm

again, and the libpcap error message is gone. One down, four to go.

I found openssl-0.9.6-9.i386.rpm and ran

rpm -Uv openssl-0.9.6-9.i386.rpm

The system responded with:

Preparing packages for installation...
openssl-0.9.6-9

After that, I tried rpm -i net-snmp-5.0.1-5.i386.rpm and got:

error: failed dependencies:
	libcrypto.so.2  is needed by net-snmp-5.0.1-5
	libelf.so.0  is needed by net-snmp-5.0.1-5

If libcrypto.so.2 is in openssl, did I miss something with the upgrade
of openssl?

After upgrading openssl, when I run rpm -q libcrypto.so I still get:

package libcrypto.so is not installed.
