Given that both libio-socket-ssl-perl and libcrypt-ssleay-perl provide 
independent SSL socket implementations, dependency in either way sounds 
like a bug to me.

Also, I'm afraid that installing libio-socket-ssl-perl fixes 
checkgmail's problem only because LWP prefers IO::Socket::SSL over 
Net::SSL (i.e.: libcrypt-ssleay-perl is not used at all).

To check this, export PERL_NET_HTTPS_SSL_SOCKET_CLASS=Net::SSL and 
notice that the problem reappears.

That still introduces a circular dependency:

libcrypt-ssleay-perl -> liblwp-protocol-https-perl -> 
libio-socket-ssl-perl -> libnet-ssleay-perl
