10 I'm not sure if you meant it but it reads as if you were talking about
11 removing the package. This is incorrect.

13 You need to disable the USE flag and then --changed-use (or --newuse)
14 rebuild everything with the flag. If the depgraph is clean, emerge
15 should happily trigger the rebuild along with automatic replacement of
16 dev-libs/libressl with dev-libs/openssl.

18 However, it's a good idea to run the same command with --fetchonly
19 first, to make sure that all distfiles are in place, in case wget got
20 broken in the process.
