VMware Horizon View no longer launching after update

After a recent update, I'm not able to get vmware-view to launch anymore:

Any suggestions?  I've tried reinstalling all the relevant packages already and messing around with my Locale, but have had no luck so far.

Re: VMware Horizon View no longer launching after update

Note 'OpenSsl' in the Error and

2015-08-06 09:41:55.653-04:00: vmware-view 23377| Built using OpenSSL 1.0.1m ...
2015-08-06 09:41:55.653-04:00: vmware-view 23377| Using ... OpenSSL/1.0.2d

Was openssl upgraded in that system update?

Re: VMware Horizon View no longer launching after update

I'm honestly not sure.  Any way I could check that?

I did manually reinstall it after I began having issues...

EDIT:
Here's what I'm showing as currently installed for OpenSSL:

sudo pacman -Q | grep openssl

lib32-openssl 1.0.2.d-1
openssl 1.0.2.d-1
openssl098 0.9.8.zg-1
python2-pyopenssl 0.15.1-1

Re: VMware Horizon View no longer launching after update

Just disable the verification of the certificates in the preferences,
ok it's not safe, but better then nothing ...

Re: VMware Horizon View no longer launching after update

The application is not even opening.  It just flashes on my screen and immediately closes.

Re: VMware Horizon View no longer launching after update

The issue is triggered by (lib32-)openssl 1.0.2d. The commit in question is:
http://git.openssl.org/?p=openssl.git;h … d94395a7a2

I've contacted VMware, let's see if/when we will see an updated release. For now you can compile (lib32-)openssl with the commit reverted.
