[SOLVED] broken libssl OPENSSL dependency: Pacman, Git, X not working

Yesterday I did a

sudo pacman -Syu

and since then I get errors about broken dependencies with /usr/lib/libssl.so.3 and OPENSSL_3.2.0

$ pacman -Ss a
pacman: /usr/lib/libssl.so.3: version `OPENSSL_3.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4)
$ git pull
/usr/lib/git-core/git-remote-https: /usr/lib/libssl.so.3: version `OPENSSL_3.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4)

I already tried to resymlink /usr/lib/libssl.so.3 using

cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s libssl.so.3 libssl.so
sudo ldconfig

but it didn't fix anything.

I am in a chroot now, but I'm unsure what to do. Can I somehow correct the OPENSSL dependency using pacstrap?

Re: [SOLVED] broken libssl OPENSSL dependency: Pacman, Git, X not working

use pacman on the ISO with the --sysroot option to install the openssl package. I'm assuming you're either holding back the update, or have some other version installed from the AUR or elsewhere?

I'm on a normal Garuda install, with the arch-install-scripts installed and the root of my arch drive mounted to /mnt.

I've never interacted with openssl directly and probably only installed it as a dependency without noticing, also I can't use pacman at all in my arch, since it ever gives the above error.

Do I have to boot an ISO, mount the arch root to /mnt and then run

pacman --sysroot openssl

or could I also directly do that in Garuda?

Most likely, you'll have to ask further questions on the garuda boards, we don't support them here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/misc.php?action=rules

Closing. -- For deletion.

Reopening on appeal

Re: [SOLVED] broken libssl OPENSSL dependency: Pacman, Git, X not working

The previous post of mine was deleted under the wrong assumption that I'd be asking a question about Garuda Linux, which I'm not. The system I need help with is a Arch Linux x86_64

Yesterday I did a

sudo pacman -Syu

and since then I get errors about broken dependencies with /usr/lib/libssl.so.3 and OPENSSL_3.2.0

$ pacman -Ss a
pacman: /usr/lib/libssl.so.3: version `OPENSSL_3.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4)
$ git pull
/usr/lib/git-core/git-remote-https: /usr/lib/libssl.so.3: version `OPENSSL_3.2.0' not found (required by /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4)

I already tried to resymlink /usr/lib/libssl.so.3 using

cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s libssl.so.3 libssl.so
sudo ldconfig

but it didn't fix anything.

As Scimmia suggested I tried

$ sudo pacman --sysroot /mnt -S openssl

but that gave me the errors:

Re: [SOLVED] broken libssl OPENSSL dependency: Pacman, Git, X not working

Were you using a live disk of Garuda to fix Arch in that case I presume? I'll merge this back and reopen in that case.

In the future please use the report button (... even on a moderator post...) if you don't agree with a decision and want to present your case.

Re: [SOLVED] broken libssl OPENSSL dependency: Pacman, Git, X not working

You need to mount proc into the system as well.

mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc/

The output does show that you were using an AUR version of openssl. Not a great idea, for obvious reasons.

Yeah I wasn't sure what to do so I just sent you an Email...but as you didn't reply I decided to just open a new topic.

No, I have a working full garuda install on a seperate drive on the same computer, with the arch-install-scripts installed.

I mounted proc and retried, now I'm getting an GPGME error:

I didn't install it manually, idk why the AUR version is installed :/

Re: [SOLVED] broken libssl OPENSSL dependency: Pacman, Git, X not working

Ah, right. Too much stuff broken, you'll have to use --root, --cachedir, and --config instead. If Garuda doesn't have Arch's keys in the keyring, --gpgdir as well.

As for why you have openssl-static, /var/log/pacman.log should have some clues

What alternative config file should I use?
Can I use any cachedir I want? So can I just create a new dir called abctemp inside my $HOME and use that?
What root should I use? The manual says it shouldn't be used for mounted guest system, --sysroot instead...

As for why you have openssl-static, /var/log/pacman.log should have some clues

pacman.log says it has something to do with electron, but I never explicitely installed electron, only as a dependency of code-oss, which is not mentioned at that day...

Re: [SOLVED] broken libssl OPENSSL dependency: Pacman, Git, X not working

You set it to use the config and cache dir on the Arch system, ie /mnt/etc/pacman.conf and /mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg/

that was almost 15 minutes after electron, so very possibly not related. You can check your shell history to see what you were running at that time

~/.bash_history doesn't have timestamps, is there another history?

But before the openssl-static thing I installed nerd-fonts-symbols:

and in the .bash_history file after nerd-fonts-symbols it installed Albion Online, Flameshot, Libreoffice Fresh, OBS, Steam and a Spotify Adblocker:

Re: [SOLVED] broken libssl OPENSSL dependency: Pacman, Git, X not working

I'd forgotten that bash history doens't have timestamps. zsh does.

in the pacman log, whatever pulled it in is probably after the part of the log you posted. Your helper would build and install deps before building and installing whatever it was that you told it to.

Don't forget to mark the thread as solved by editing the first post.
