When trying to update enlightenment recently (just after upgrading to
FC5), I got an error message that assorted packages needed
libcrypto.so.5 and libssl.so.5.

I found an rpm with libssl.so.0.9.7f and libcrypto.so.0.9.7f, moved
those two files to /lib, and made soft links for libcrypto.so.5 and
libssl.so.5.

However, enlightenment still tells me I need those two lib files. Is
there something more that needs to be done? I don't want to uninstall
the .6 files as too many fc5 apps need them. I just want them to be
able to peacefully coexist. I still have .4 files without any
conflicts.

I don't know all the ins and outs. However, in times past, I have been
able to create softlinks labeled as the older version and make things
work. It's likely they are backward compatible.

Yes, Ed.  In many cases the RPM packager specified a particular library
version instead of a plain vanilla version ending in *.so.  That's one of
the differences between free software and a proprietary UNIX version.

My solution, which has never yet failed -- knock on wood -- is to softlink
whatever the packager specified to *.so while ensuring the most current
library version is also softlinked to *.s
e.g.:

ln -s libssl.so.0.9.7f   libssl.so
ln -s libssl.so   libssl.so.5
