Error when trying to start wpa_supplicant

Hi, im trying to connect to an 802.1x network using this article https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wpa_supplicant, when i run

wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

i get

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

i dont know what im doing wrong since im a newbie to arch, and linux in general, is there a way to fix this? or just a better way to connect to an 802.1x network? (i try with iwctl and i get "Not configured")

Re: Error when trying to start wpa_supplicant

You did a partial update. You need to get back to where you had network connectivity and update the entire system.

Then don't run pacman -Sy again.
