I ran into this on a client's server recently.  I posted to this list,
and someone kindly reminded me that openssl could be installed sans man
pages.  Download the update to your system, and then:

rpm -Uvh --excludedocs openssl....

Since the conflict is only with the man pages, this is a safe
workaround.  Search the list for 'Conflict installing openssl.i386 with
openssl.x86_64 on a x86_64 system' if you want more details.

It's a problem, for sure.  The i686 or x86_64 openssl packages are
likely not built right (I'm guessing...don't know for sure).

Regards,

Ranbir
