Error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1

[ricklinux]

I hope not!

[snowball]

For info:
Added openssl-1.1 to user_pkglist.txt and the installation worked fine.

what DE choice and options? like encryption and stuff?
because I have no issue with a normal unencrypted online install.

Done two installed now both no issues one Gnome without encryption and Plasma/KDE with encryption…

I don’t suppose you can just su - root and then fix things (avoiding sudo)?

[joekamprad]

you can run commands directly as root instead of using sudo indeed… but is this related to this thread?

[dbarronoss]

It is if the only issue preventing recovery is being able to run ‘sudo’.
I wasn’t clear if that was the only program involving that library was involved. If it prevents pacman, then yeah, not a solution.

I installed BSPWM

[joekamprad]

ah thanks … could be some of its deps… i will check… so no encryption?

[ricklinux]

I just installed Bspwm with the latest ISO on vbox and had no issue.

[joekamprad]

same here must be caused by outdated mirror…

It does.

There’s actually two libraries involved: libssl.so.1.1 and libcrypto.so.1.1

In my case, what I had to do was boot the EndeavourOS ISO that I had (from September, I think). Mounted the root and efi partitions from my broken system (just like for the grub issue). Next, I copied the two libraries from the install ISO to /usr/lib of the broken system. Finally, I arch-chroot-ed to the broken system and then ran ‘pacman -S --overwrite openssl-1.1’.

Since I had a kernel update fail in the mess, I ended up running ‘pacman -Syu’, followed by a reinstall of the kernel package, and (of course) ‘mkinitcpio -P’ and ‘update-grub’.

Now everything is back to normal.
