This is OpenSSL and should not really be shipped with GNUnet (huge!).

This dependency is listed twice (.so and rpm), so it's really only one.

This one is very odd -- it should be supplied *by* the RPM (it should be part 
of the GNUnet 0.5.1 rpms). Looks like you just found a bug in the RPM.
I'll release a 0.5.1a-1 with the fix for this dependency.

Another bug. libextractor's build system linked them into libextractor.so 
which does NOT need them! Argh. Well, I've just asked Blake to fix the 
libextractor build system. That should remove that dependency. When you 
install libextractor (rpm), the RPM will still have that dependency. If you 
compile libextractor from source, it will detect that these libraries are not 
present and not build the extractors for ogg-vorbis (and everything should 
work).

Maybe. Sometimes just a brute-force "--nodeps" can also do the trick (but not 
with the GNUnet-RPM bug above).

Thanks for reporting!
