pacman not working

Pluxyy · 2017-10-31 20:25:39

Hello,

I'm new to Archlinux. When I use pacman the following message appers:

pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I tried to loopup pacman.conf like suggested here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=225148
but this is not the error.
Upating pacman doesn't either.

Any suggestions what I could try to fix this up?

How did you install Arch?

Pluxyy · 2017-10-31 20:37:06

I installed it like described on the german archlinux page and pacman was working then. I am not sure when I messed it up.

When I said I'm new to Archlinux, I meant I am not an expert in using it. I installed Archlinux nearly a year ago on an older machine. But I rarely use it.

I also wanted to try the suggestion of smart2128 here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=94902

But my usr/local/lib folder seems to be empty

However in usr/lib there is libssl.so.1.0.0

So perhaps I can download libssl.so.1.1 and copy it to usr/lib?

No.
libssl.so.1.1 is part of openssl, libssl.so.1.0.0 is part of openssl-1.0

The vast majority of packages depends on the openssl package (and libssl.so.1.1)
What *exactly* have you done to remove that? (consult your pacman log)
Did you just try to update a system for the first time after a year or so?

You'll likely have to fix the system offline: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … an_upgrade

Thank you, I will try fixing it offline. Maybe I will reinstall the whole system. Btw. this are the logs from my pacman.log

This is hardly your entire log (please don't post that here unless you need a comment on it) but the fraction is from january.
I assume you skipped updates since then (and are now quite late for the ssl API change update)?
