Current dependency for openssl in the ebuild looks like this: dev-libs/openssl This neither handles slots dependencies nor sub-slot dependencies. Considering this being a binary package I doubt that the package works with all different versions of openssl. IMHO there are two solutions for this. 1.) Either the package will work with all available openssl versions, then you should adjust the dependency to dev-libs/openssl:* 2.) Or you "pin" the package to a specific openssl version: =dev-libs/openssl-1.0*:* or =dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8*:* I believe that option 2.) is the better solution because a binary package usually expects a specific openssl version to be installed.
Good catch :) I can see from the binaries that the package is built against OpenSSL-1.0.1e so I think pinning it to =dev-libs/openssl-1.0*:* is the way to go. I have created a PR with the change.

The Sourcetrail package is built agains openssl-1.0.1 so depending on =dev-libs/openssl-1.0*:0 should match the correct version.
