Pacman dysfunctional due 'error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.3'

Hey all,

Please forgive me for asking something that will be obvious for a seasoned user.

I have an issue very similar to Pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.3 after updating openssl, however, the proposed solution doesn’t work; i.e.: After downloading openssl-3.1.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst, and extracting libcrypto.so.3 from it and chown it to root:root, chmod it 777 and moving it to /usr/lib/, pacman still doesn’t do anything/throws the same error (with everything, even a mere pacman --version).

Hardware is a newly bought PinePhone Pro, if that matters.

Already many thanks in advance!

It matters that if you followed the link in that thread verbatim you downloaded the package for x86_64 (while your system is ARM).
Not to mention the version, but you probably gathered that from looking at what the mirror was providing.

Isn’t Pine Phone an ARM device?

Should the proper file be : openssl-3.1.4-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz ?

It should install correctly via the package manager, I would think.

Hey cscs,

Many thanks for the reply.

This does make sense, but it is not obvious to me which tar I should then download – if at all.

Yes, I downloaded another version of the tar (the one I list in the question).

Pine devices is suffering for the time being … unfortunately … to few hands after the locomotive went on a walk-about.

Hey jrichards326,

Many thanks for the reply.

Probably that or a similar tar would be better, but I can’t install it via the package manager, since it doesn’t function anymore (even a mere pacman --version throws the aforementioned error). Any suggestions on where to find the latest stable openssl release for ARM devices?

or on any other of the mirrors.

Hey All,

Following the other solution at the issue for Pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.3 works here as well, be it combined with ARM-specific software, as pointed out.

Many thanks for the helpful and fast responses!
