I'm trying to emerge d4x-2.5.6, But it depends on openssl-0.9.7i and later, after I set openssl in /etc/portage/profile/packages.provided, It can be compiled, and also works find on my system. So, if d4x can be build with openssl-0.9.7i, and also works fine, Why should this depend on openssl-0.9.7i and later?
