it's expecting

Another thought -- if you can't find a version of libssl 0.9.6 designed to
coexist with 0.9.7, it _is_ possible to install two different versions of a
package. If you have one version of the package installed, you can attempt to
install a second version in addition by using "rpm --install" instead of "rpm
--upgrade" Often, you find that there's a file conflict between the two
versions of the package. Then you have to read the error message and figure
out whether the file(s) in conflict is important and which version of the
files you would like to have. If you want the files from version b to
overwrite the files from version a, install version b last, and pass the
"--replacefiles" option to rpm.
