This is indeed the correct mailing list!

The so called 'curl-ssl' is curl with SSL enabled. It is the same tool, only
built with different support.

To my knowledge, there hasn't been any curl release 7.8.1 so I'm not sure
what to say.

If you're using dynamicly linked OpenSSL libs, they are.

That indicates that the curl you got are linked with an older set of OpenSSL
libs than the ones you have.

Chances are that you can make symbolic links named libcrypto.so.0 etc that
link to the .1 versions.

The standard default curl package is a source tarball, you compile and build
that yourself. It'll use the libs you have.

There are also packages for a multitude of different operating systems and
archiving formats. Get the one that suits you the best from:
