Wow.  This is a Mageia difference from Mandriva that I am not fond of.

So now I wonder if this gets the long name that worked.  Maybe:

$ urpmq -a -f --whatprovides libopenssl-devel

The above seemed to work on Mandriva.

Or, gasp:

$ urpmq -a -r --whatprovides libopenssl-devel \
| awk -v FS="[ \t]*[:][ \t]*" \
'$1 ~ /^Name/ { printf("%s", $2) } \
 $1 ~ /^Release/ { printf("-%s", $2) } \
 $1 ~ /^Size/ { printf("-%s\n", $3) }' -
