Description:
I am trying to install "mysql-community-devel-8.0.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm" on mysql  Ver 8.0.11 for Linux on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL) / CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)and getting the error below:

warning: mysql-community-devel-8.0.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 5072e1f5: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:
	pkgconfig(openssl) is needed by mysql-community-devel-8.0.11-1.el7.x86_64

How to repeat:
 [root@localhost mysql8]# rpm -ivh mysql-community-devel-8.0.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 
warning: mysql-community-devel-8.0.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 5072e1f5: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies:

[root@localhost mysql8]# rpm -qa | grep openssl
openssl098e-0.9.8e-29.el7.centos.3.x86_64
openssl-libs-1.0.2k-8.el7.x86_64
openssl-1.0.2k-8.el7.x86_64

Suggested fix:
I presume "mysql-community-devel-8.0.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm" is not bundled with "pkgconfig(openssl) is needed by mysql-community-devel-8.0.11-1.el7.x86_64" .Later when I did: 

[root@localhost mysql8]# yum install mysql-community-devel-8.0.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

Hi!

Thanks for your report!

Dependency pkgconfig(openssl) is provided by package openssl-devel:

$ rpm -q --provides openssl-devel | grep openssl | grep pkgconfig
pkgconfig(openssl) = 1.0.2k
pkgconfig(openssl) = 1.0.2k

If you are using low level rpm commands like 

$ rpm -ivh mysql-community-devel-8.0.11-1.el7.x86_64.rpm 

directly and not high level package management tool like yum you have
to install all required packages by hand before installing MySQL packages.

Note: rpm supports a rich set of dependencies, not just package names.
For example rpm supports dependencies like:

 pkgconfig(foo)
 perl(Bar::baz)
 /usr/bin/spam
 libeggs.so.10(EGGS.1.0)

When using rpm (and not yum) you have process and track all this information
yourself, this is of course error prone and not recommended.
