I just noticed that this line will only show correct results *before* the
upgrade - which makes sense: the old libs have been replaced during the
upgrade, but running processes still use the *old* (deleted) libs - so
the fuser command can't report them.

Perhaps the next advisory should mention this problem...

As a workaround, after the upgrade one can use something like:

   lsof | grep "/usr/lib/libssl.so*\|/usr/lib/libcrypto.so*"

which results in something like:

    pine 14262 mk mem DEL 3,7 192668 /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6-RPMDELETE
    ...

Cheers,
Martin
