The module signing script (sign-file) used to be a wrapper around the openssl program. It has now been replaced by a C program that uses the crypto library from the OpenSSL package meaning that the OpenSSL devel packages are necessary to provide the devel library link and the header files. This would be openssl-devel on Fedora and libssl-dev on Debian.
