I believe it is possible to dual install versions of openssl. Unless the 
prior version has a security problem, try installing not as update, but 
as a regular install. Otherwise, collect all of the packages that need 
this install, based on a newer rpm that also uses newer openssl, and 
name all of them on the command line for rpm update at the same time. 
Hopefully someone else has a less painful answer.
