• 'keep in conflict' meaning 'ignore'? then the answer is 'no'

• adding Conflicts: openssl(cli) to openssl-3 is an option, but somewhat defeats the purpose of the entire renaming, which seems to aim at parallel installability

• A way out could be the files /etc/ssl/ct_log_list.cnf{,.dist} out into a openssl-1_1-ct_log_cnf (in openssl 1.1) and openssl-3-ct_log_cnf (in openssl-3), have them both provide openssl(ct_log_cnf) and also Conflicts: openssl(ct_log_cnf); openssl-1_1 and openssl-3 would then both require openssl(ct_log_cnf) (not sure about the content of tile files, are they identical? Can openss 1.1 work with the files from openssl 3 and vice-versa? In this case I'd add Suggests: openssl-1_1-ct_log_cnf in openssl-1_1 (and respective -3 version for openssl3); this would mostly result to have the 1_1 installed by default on all installs (as openssl-1_1 is basically there in all cases, until we switch to openssl 3

Would it make sense then to remove these two files from openssl-3? As openssl-1_1 is always installed. They would be readded when we switch to openssl 3.

This requires one less change to openssl in Factory and SLE.

That's an opion - but it would technically ask for a Requires: openssl in openssl-3 to make sure this is true in all cases

Otherwise a simple install of openssl-3 into a clean container would not bring openssl 1.1 with it

zypper requires openssl (it's required by libzypp specifically) though, so openssl 1.1 should already be installed in almost all cases, if I have understood correctly.

EDIT: This means that adding the Requires: openssl in openssl-3 wouldn't actually add any new package, it could be added safely.

zypper is no requirement for containers - and zypper would depend on libopenssl1_1, not openssl(cli) which carries those files
