rpm dependencies?


i'm trying to install a package but get these dependencies error:
[root@localhost lib]# rpm -iv /home/luke/temp/pgadmin*.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.4 is needed by pgadmin3-1.0.2-1
libssl.so.4 is needed by pgadmin3-1.0.2-1


so i check in /usr/lib and find:
[root@localhost lib]# ls libcrypto*
libcrypto.so.0.9.6b libcrypto.so.2

and
[root@localhost lib]# ls libssl*
libssl.so.0.9.6b libssl.so.2


so i try making a symbollic link
i'm not sure if its the right way to do things but its worked before
ln -s libcrypto.so.0.9.6b libcrypto.so.4
ln -s libssl.so.0.9.6b libssl.so.4

tried to install again and get the same dependency errors

also tried upgrading the libs in hopes it would include the *so.4 libs with a rpm
but got a couple dozen dependency errors:
[root@localhost temp]# rpm -Uv ./openssl-0.9.7a-20.1.i686.rpm
warning: ./openssl-0.9.7a-20.1.i686.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID ac64a5d1
error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.2 is needed by (installed) cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.7-2

etc....

what it is the reason behind the numbering in the .so libs?
if they are just links couldn't the programs check for the base .so
eg.. libcrypto.so.0.9.6b instead of libcrypto.so.4
