I know this is not an answer, but some of the packages may be built with
openssl from packages as opposed to base. Theoretically it shouldn't
matter (cough... cough...), but some package using SSL (though it didn't
bring openssl package as dependency) didn't work for me until I installed
openssl package. Hopefully someone knowledgeable will weigh in on this.
