Description

It would be convenient to have an openssl-libs package install available.
My purpose for this is it is a dependency of Octopus's Tentacle install rpm. (and apparently archive install which will then fail during runtime)

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating how Photon defines and builds packages, then trace the existing OpenSSL package metadata and dependency handling; done means an openssl-libs package can be installed and supports the stated Tentacle RPM and archive-install dependency.
