1 Thank you so much, your advice cured my machine. Hadn't noticed
2 revdep-rebuild before.

4 It still gave me errors regarding some packages to be re-emerged but
5 they don't seem to do with my original problem.

18 Originally I thought it's too long of a story to tell but...
19 I got confused from two things.
20 1. even though the version is 0.9.8 all I could find was 0.9.7
21 2. most of the files were installed in /usr/local/ssl
22
23 So I did symbolic links and tried downgrade to 0.9.7. At some point I
24 even uninstalled openssl entirely which disabled my machine almost
25 entirely so I had to restore libssl from backup (but it was older version).
