Don't say:

    Requires: openssl >= 0.9.6

Say:

    Requires: openssl
    Conflicts: openssl < 0.9.6

The former means "this package requires openssl, and will work with
any version of openssl from 0.9.6 on, through the rest of eternity".
That's not what you mean.

The latter means "this package requires openssl, but doesn't work with
versions of openssl less than 0.9.6".  That's what you mean.

(The same applies for PreReq.)
