No, it is due to a seriously bumpy ride toward NetBSD 10.0. If you update
your netbsd-10 base installation, it will give you a libssl.so.15.

Taylor recently found out that the openssl update had created a broken
situation due to an icomplete (base system equivalent of a pkgsrc) recursive
revbump for the openssl libraries.

This has been fixed now (in HEAD and pulled up to netbsd-10), but it
requires
 - an update of existing netbsd-10 installations
 - a pkg rebuild from scratch

Sorry for the inconvenience. We should have everything in place for -10 now.
