Wait. This is Ubuntu, not Debian; there may be differences in
(pre|co)-reqs, so you should be careful.

I am sorry, but I am not sure what is it you are asking. I am
*guessing* it is related to the
timestamp on /usr/bin/openssl.

One thing you can do is 'dkpg -l openssl', and check if the installed
version matches your
package version.

If it does, then 'dpkg -L openssl' will list the package files --
check if /usr/bin/openssl is there.

Then check the build log for something strange. I cannot be really
precise because I
do not know what is it you changed...

Indeed 'dpkg -i ,package>' will replace the named package. Version
checking will be
performed, and may affect the operation.

Cheers,
