[SOLVED] Installation issue with openssl

Hi, I am running into issues with the installation. Thanks for the help!

So I booted with Arch USB and ran the following commands:

timedatectl set-ntp true

pacman -Syu

I am not able to do anything after that. It says:

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

I found that during the pacman upgrade the OpenSSL package is upgraded, which breaks certain packages.

https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … _breaking/

I tried installing the following, but it says failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
pacman -Sy openssl-1.1

I could install without upgrading, but I am afraid I might face similar issue after fresh OS installation. In fact, it is because of this issue that I am doing a fresh install.

Edit:
Solution:
As CFR mentioned, I shouldn't and didn't really need to upgrade the USB installation.

Are you trying to install Arch or fix an existing installation? It doesn't make much sense to run pacman -Syu like that. You need to mount things first. If you're trying to fix an existing installation, bring the network up, mount your file systems and arch-chroot into the system. Then run pacman -Syu. If you get errors, you may need to rebuild AUR packages. In most cases, you can probably remove them, update the system, reboot and rebuild them later. Obviously, don't do this with anything essential.

Whatever youtube tutorial you're following there to install archlinux: stop that.
They're all - and I mean: all - absurdly incompetent.
