Basically you have one library, and you want both installed when you're done, but RPM complains when you try to upgrade one without the other, either because you're installing a package contains a file you already have (openssl095a) or you're upgrading to a package which will remove a needed library (openssl, where the library version is changed). The best way to do this is to just upgrade both at the same time: rpm -Uvh openssl095a* openssl-* Dependencies don't break, and everything should keep working.
