Obsolete package openssl-devel now depends on libssl-devel, if using the current setup, so you get the correct packages installed and used: look at the package setup.hint or the setup.ini entry. Cygwin obsolete packages are most similar to other distros virtual packages, but they can require specific dependencies and/or versions be installed: this avoids updating dependencies and docs just because dependency package names change. -- Take care.
