Check the current version of openssl installed!

Cause:

There is a package openssl10-libs conflicting with openssl-1

Solution: 

To resolve this, i removed all the openssl packages installed on my system and installed openssl afresh using the commands below:

First, to check which packages of openssl are installed on your system, run this:

# rpm -qa | grep openssl openssl-1.0.0-25.el6_3.1.x86_64 openssl10-libs-1.0.1e-1.ius.centos6.x86_64

Remove the listed packages one by one

# rpm -e --justdb --nodeps openssl-1.0.0-25.el6_3.1.x86_64

# rpm -e --justdb --nodeps openssl10-libs-1.0.1e-1.ius.centos6.x86_64

Re-Install OpenSSL afresh

Problem Solved?

Check new version of openssl that has been installed

# openssl version -a OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013 built on: Wed Mar 22 21:43:28 UTC 2017 platform: linux-x86_64

Also the "yum update openssl" command works fine, but of course i just finished installing a fresh copy of openssl so no updates will be found

# yum update openssl Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Setting up Update Process Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile  * base: mirror.centos.org  * epel: mirrors.coreix.net  * extras: mirrors.coreix.net  * updates: mirrors.coreix.net No Packages marked for Update

Problem:

I was trying to update my PHP from version php-5.3.3 to version php-5.4.3 using:
 "yum install php56w.x86_64"

I kept running into this error, yet i had openssl installed and all it's libraries running fine:
# yum install php54w.x86_64

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Solution:

I upgraded my current version of openssl from openssl-1.0.0e-fips to OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips and i was able to upgrade my PHP to 5.4

This is what i did:

1. Force remove the current openssl packages:

# rpm -e --nodeps openssl10-libs-1.0.1e-1.ius.el6.x86_64
# rpm -e --nodeps openssl-devel-1.0.0-20.el6.i686
# rpm -e --nodeps openssl-1.0.0-20.el6.i686

2. Install a new version of openssl

# rpm -ifvh /var/tmp/yum-root-M9Lg4I/openssl-1.0.1e-15.el6.x86_64.rpm 
warning: /var/tmp/yum-root-M9Lg4I/openssl-1.0.1e-15.el6.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID c105b9de: NOKEY
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:openssl                ########################################### [100%]
# openssl
OpenSSL> version 
OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013
OpenSSL> 

3. Force remove all the current packages of php 5.3

# rpm -qa | grep php
php-cli-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64
php-common-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64
php-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64
php-mysql-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64
php-pdo-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64

4. Install the new packages of php 5.4 

# rpm -qa | grep php

php54w-common-5.4.31-1.w6.x86_64

php54w-mysql-5.4.31-1.w6.x86_64

php54w-cli-5.4.31-1.w6.x86_64

php54w-pdo-5.4.31-1.w6.x86_64

php54w-5.4.31-1.w6.x86_64

5. Restarted apache and everything tested OK.
