[Bug 1056494] Re: QtWebKit should have libssl in its depends list

[Steve Langasek]

QtWebKit doesn't use libssl, so should not depend on it.  It only uses
the QSslSocket interface from libQtNetwork.

libqt4-network appears to use dlopen() for libssl instead of linking
against it.  This is highly inadvisable; it seems to use a glob of
'libssl.*' to find the library, which could easily cause ABI-related
skew (and segfaults).  libQtNetwork should really be dynamically linked
against libssl instead.  But in any event, the libqt4-network package
should have a dependency on libssl.
