+- Added openssl-1_1-use-include-directive.patch so that the default
+  /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf file will include any configuration files that
+  other packages might place into /etc/ssl/engines.d/ and
+  /etc/ssl/engdef.d/ This is a fix for bsc#1004463 where scripting was
+  being used to modify the openssl.cnf file. The scripting would fail
+  if either the default openssl.cnf file, or the sample openssl-ibmca
+  configuration file would be changed by upstream.
+- Updated spec file to create the two new necessary directores for
+  the above patch.
