[DOC] advice installing openssl 0.9.8 on RHEL 6 if binary tarball is used

[Laurynas Biveinis]

[In:Percona Server Documentation]

The binary tarball on RHEL 6-like OS depends on OpenSSL 0.9.8e installed, available in openssl098e package, which is side-by-side installable with openssl 1.0.

The same problem exists on Ubuntu, but there is no openssl098 package available. There are:

ii libssl0.9.8:amd64 0.9.8o-7ubuntu3.1 amd64 SSL shared libraries
ii libssl1.0.0:amd64 1.0.1c-4ubuntu8 amd64 SSL shared libraries
ii openssl 1.0.1c-4ubuntu8 amd64 Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary and related cryptographic tools

But installing all of them does not resolve the issue.

[Roel Van de Paar (roel11)]

As per internal discussion, this issue is too big to be a 'documentation fix' only imho. It should be fixed otherwise.

[Valerii Kravchuk (valerii-kravchuk)]

If not a documentation problem (I still think we should document workaround for some platforms for versions already released), should we consider this a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/percona-server/+bug/1172916 ?

[Laurynas Biveinis (laurynas-biveinis)]

I agree with Valerii. For the dependent libraries issue there is bug 1172916. The current bug can be closed after documenting the known issues and workarounds for that issue.
