I only mentioned the QNX link because it was a similar issue. I don’t think that will address the CentOS 7 problem of not finding “openssl11” as an alias for “openssl”.

CentOS/RHEL is notorious for handling parallel package versions by giving them new names. `pkg_search_module` seems tailor made for this purpose.
