Yes, this will work for you as a quick fix, but it is merely postponing 
dealing with the issue properly to a later date. Make a plan for it and 
keep in mind that openssl 1.0 goes out of upstream support at the end of 
2019. Given its history of major security vulnerabilities, it will be 
removed from oe-core well before that time, so that it won't linger in 
supported YP releases.
