+        You should update OpenSSL when a new version which fixes vulnerabilities
+        is announced. The releases run in series, with a letter for each release
+        after the initial release (e.g. 1.1.1, 1.1.1a, 1.1.1b, etc). Because LFS
+        installs only the shared libraries, there is no need to recompile packages
+        which link to <filename class="libraryfile">libcrypto.so</filename> or
+        <filename class="libraryfile">libssl.so</filename>
+        <emphasis>when upgrading in the same series.</emphasis>

+        However, any running programs linked to those libraries need to be stopped
+        and restarted. Read the related entries in
+        <xref linkend='pkgmgmt-upgrade-issues'/> for details.
