This update hasn't arrived at my end yet, so I went poking:
# yum --enablerepo=sl-security --showduplicates list openssl

I note that the 6_8.3 versions are el..., whereas the 6_8.4 are all sl...
Of course sl6_8.3 comes after el6_8.4 so the updates are ignored :-(

I'm now confused, should they be el6... or sl6... ?

(I'm also confused about whether I should be using sl-security or sl6-security, but that is less important).

Thanks,
