[CentOS] problem restoring ssl and vlc

greeting.

a short while ago, i may have gone to a site i should not have. maybe.

after visiting, i decided i would check for rpm updates.

when yumex opened to available packages, it showed that;

  openssl.x86_64 0:1.0.1e-42.el6_7.4

was available, so i checked it, then clicked install button. during
log display, i got error message, tried again. still got error.

seems that there is a 'protected' problem.

text from log is at filefactory;


http://www.filefactory.com/file/6x8rzrxmx8vx/yumex-error--openssl.2016-0301-1500

tried a couple check at cli, it failed. then i tried a few more things
that maybe i should not have.

during all this, i decided to open vlc to play some relaxing music. not.

icon for vlc was no longer in my desktop top panel and reason the attempt
to install vlc with yumex.

not aware of what all is happening, i closed yumex. mistake.

now, when i try to start yumex from panel icon, nothing.

starting yumex from cli, i get this;

~]$ yumex
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yumex", line 25, in <module>

    import _hashlib
ImportError: libssl.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory


decided to try starting vlc from cli;

~]$ vlc
bash: vlc: command not found

presuming that vlc starts from a diff command, i tried to open kde menu,
it will not open.

i am now at a loss of what all has been removed and need help getting
things back.

thanks in advance for any and all help.
