Details

Since this package provides 'openssl', pacman allows you to install it to satisfy that dep, even though this doesn't provide the same libs. It allows you to massively break a system. Provides should only be used for drop-in replacements.
This task depends upon

Seeing as I can install openssl-1.1 and then remove openssl (which would totally break everything) I'm in favor of removing the provision.

Making use of the libdeps added to openssl would further guard against the above scenario.

You are right; I added those provides/conflicts to bootstrap the rebuild. I'll remove those now.
