I updated openssl to 0.9.8 in devel grimoire on 2005-07-11.
I knew there were some problems with apache2, ruby, ... so I did not 
integrated it.
After apache2 and ruby was updated to be compatible with openssl 0.9.8 
and after proposal to integration [1] I integrated new openssl to test 
grimoire on
2005-08-31 (nearly 2 months). There were no bugs on bugzilla and nobody 
was against it.

There is the same problem same as with openssl 0.9.7 [2]. I always 
recommend to use "sorcery system-update".
Of course if there is some problem in test grimoire "cleanse --fix" 
resolve it.
And acording to ledger [3], openssl is installed on 5 boxes, so I am not 
alone.

One of solutions of this kind of problems is to copy/install old library 
(one file)  from /var/cache/sorcery [4].
If there was some support in sorcery ...
But I am really happy with "sorcery system-update".

Yes, binary distros might have some advantages but Source Mage is the 
best one for me. :-)
