If XFCE Kills Your SSL [Fix Inside]

If you installed XFCE you may get a error when you try to run wget saying shared lib libssl.so.0.9.7 not found here's a simple fix for this problem.

Go to /usr/lib

pwd /usr/lib
ln -s libssl.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.0.9.7
ln -s libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.so.0.9.7

This code should fix the problem please PM if not.

I don't see why this is Xfce related

When I installed XFCE it installed the latest SSL. It may not be directly related but its only when I ran pacman -S xfce4

The ssl error appeared.

If you want to know more pm me.

You should have run

pacman -Sy xfce4

Your packages are out of sync. What version of wget do you have?

And while we're waiting for that, I'll just add that solving problems of this sort with symlinks is a bad idea. Sure it usually works in the short term (not always), but it's a hacky workaround - would it not be a better idea to actually solve the problem instead?

WGet Version 1.10.2.

And work around work... not always the best thing in the world but I have a working desktop and wget works fine

$ pacman -Si wget
Repository     : current
Name           : wget
Version        : 1.10.2-2

The solution to these problems (the newest ssl has been out for a long time now) is just to upgrade the broken apps. Try running pacman -Sy wget. That'll fix it properly
