[SOLVED] Error libcrypto.so.3 on mkinitcpio

Hello there,

I got a big issue during the last update of Arch, on two different system (personal and work one): after an update of some packages I got

error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The update was of these packages:

adwaita-icon-theme alsa-card-profiles alsa-lib alsa-ucm-conf alsa-utils aspell apr-util appstream-glib apparmor apache bluez-libs barrier barrier-headless bind blas blueman babl bluez bluez-utils bolt boost-libs botan btrfs-progs bubblewrap ca-certificates-mozilla cheese-43alpha chromaprint cmake containerd coreutils cryptsetup curl dconf device-mapper dleyna libamtk

and after that some commands return the same error and cannot run (i.e. mkinitcpio, sort, sha256). I tried to redo some installation of packets but yay and pacman are stuck in the same error.

On my personal pc I had a similar error a week ago and I stopped to start (it stops and blink at boot, after the message Reached target Graphical Interface, the ttys are not available but I thinked that was related to the kernel or the nvidia card and I tried to recover via arch-chroot. But this time I've not upate the kernels, so I don't know what can be the error.

Anyone can help me?

I attach the mkinitcpio logs got during the last update (the one without the update of the kernels):

Re: [SOLVED] Error libcrypto.so.3 on mkinitcpio

It's dustbinned, you've to be logged in to see it.
I'd also not try pacman-static since the OP already stated to arch-chroot.
Either way, don't run partial updates, but "pacman --sysroot /mnt -Syu" from the install iso w/ everything mounted into place at /mnt (esp. the /boot partition) but NOT chrooted into the live system.

libcrypto.so.3 is in https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/openssl/ so make sure you're not using some openssl package from the AUR nor ignore it in your pacman.conf

What distro are you running? Neither cheese-43alpha nor libamtk exist on Arch.

Thank you for this link, it solves the error on the running session.
Unfortunately this not solves the problem on the system: at reboot also this system stuck on boot, but on this one (the work one) I was able to access and use the tty and test that lightdm and xfce4 let me use again the system.

About the suggestion of not to do a partial update, I agree but I put on IgnorePkg the packages of gnome-shell, gnome-desktop, mutter etc.. because on a couple of release these packages created too many issue. But this time upgrading also these packages regarding all the gnome-shell system, it solve the situation and I recovered both the two systems.
