Pacman crashes when upgrading; Openssl related issue

I haven't been able to update my system for a while. Today when I tried to do,

pacman -Syu

it resulted in following :

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
openssl-1.0: /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 exists in filesystem
openssl-1.0: /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 exists in filesystem
ca-certificates-utils: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Now, few weeks ago I tried to update just openssl which ened horribly. Pacman, curl etc stopped working.  But following this comment on reddit fixed the issues. I'm not sure if that's relevent to the error I'm currently getting.

Also,

openssl 1.1.0.f-1

gives

openssl 1.1.0.f-1

Unless I am mistaken, there are numerous posts on this topic. Have you searched for a resolution, and if so, what have you tried?

Re: Pacman crashes when upgrading; Openssl related issue

The certificate issue is probably related to this news https://www.archlinux.org/news/ca-certi … ervention/. Though carrying that out before resolving the openssl state may cause problems if you need to download additional packages.

As mrunion said there have been multiple posts about openssl update issues, which as you seem to have found tend to result from doing partial updates. In addition to more specifics about how you may have tried to resolve this, to help know what state your system is in now can you also post the output of the following commands

pacman -Q openssl-1.0 openssl

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0
