Please note that, beginning with OpenPKG v1.3, -e (erase) will remove
default (not created) data, logs (!), pidfiles and "run" information

I would prefer "-Uvh --force" instead. According to my experience, this
might tamper with your configuration, so check this afterwards.

For standalone machines and "masters" as you describe them, a "openpkg
build -Ua" should be sufficent. I tried it on some instances and the
results looked fine. It even detected packages which used openssl due to
a conditional "with_xxx" option. As the generated script uses "--force",
don't forget to check the configuration.
Being a little paranoid i also executed
$ for i in `/cw/bin/rpm -q --whatrequires openssl`; do \
/cw/bin/rpm -qi $i | grep "Build Time"; \
done
and checked if all eventually installed packages that directly depend on
openssl have been built recently. Needless to say, the last action is
always to test the final results.

If your command listing above is complete it looks like you forgot to
create a new index.
