libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Question

I've just updated to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and my libs using OpenSSL just stopped working. Looks like Ubuntu switched to the version 3.0 of OpenSSL.

For example, poetry stopped working:

ImportError: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is there an easy fix ? For example, having libssl.so.1.1 available without having to uninstall OpenSSL 3 (I don't know if it's even possible).

Apis

I would consider re-installing your virtual environment: the ssl module needs to be rebuilt using the updated system libraries. – Plutus

That's what I did, worked like a charm! – Apis

Answer 1

This fixes it (a problem with packaging in 22.04):

wget http://nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.22_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.22_amd64.deb

PS: If the link is expired, check http://nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/?C=M;O=D for a valid one.

Current version is: libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.22_amd64.deb

Janicejanicki

That gives me a 404. – Complemental

This URL worked for me: nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/… – Corticosteroid

This fixed multiple issues I was having after an upgrade from 21 to 22.04, thanks! Heads up: the file now appears to be named "libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb". This file being missing prevented the upower daemon from running, which caused my laptop battery to appear unrecognized (journalctl -xe -u upower). – Thermolabile

This seems very sketchy - isn't there an official website / repo / way to do this? – Mme

@Mme that is the official Ubuntu website – Lindstrom

The filenames in the two lines of code don't match up anymore. – Wardrobe

you can use synaptic package manager to do this in elegant way.in Search you need to give libssl and you would find some ubuntu tagged options which you need to select. – Sw

the file name has changed * sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb * – Apollyon

wget nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/… && sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.16_amd64.deb worked for me! – Beatriz

as of 2/26/2023 this is the command wget http://nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.17_amd64.deb You then run sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.17_amd64.deb – Aftercare

2.17 - already not actual... Who knows how to download exactly the latest version? The old one just disappears – Ildaile

@Ildaile you can search this page nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/?C=M;O=D for libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2. and you will find an actual version. Now it libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.18_amd64.deb – Janicejanicki

I think there is a general (unversioned) .deb available: http://nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb This worked for me and might be a perma-link to the most current version of the .deb – Baranowski

Another query: Is the above solution (commands) for paddlepaddle cpu version only? Because I ran both of the commands and it solved for the CPU but for the paddlepaddle-gpu cuda12 compatible ( mentioned here: paddlepaddle.org.cn/documentation/docs/en/install/pip/… ) did not work with the same commands. I am using two different conda environments one for cpu version and one for gpu version. Switching to CPU did not throw any error but GPU still has the same. – Cerberus

As of 12 Nov 23 this work on ubuntu 22.04, wget nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/… and then install sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.20_amd64.deb – Medusa

Answer 2

It is risky to install openssl-1.1.1o on Ubuntu 22.04 as it supports openssl-3.0.2. A more preferable way would be to build and keep the libssl.so.1.1 and libcrypto.so.1.1 libraries away from root and export LD_LIBRARY_PATH as needed.

e.g.,

$ mkdir $HOME/opt && cd $HOME/opt
# Download a supported openssl version. e.g., openssl-1.1.1o.tar.gz or openssl-1.1.1t.tar.gz
$ wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1o.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf openssl-1.1.1o.tar.gz
$ cd openssl-1.1.1o
$ ./config && make && make test
$ mkdir $HOME/opt/lib
$ mv $HOME/opt/openssl-1.1.1o/libcrypto.so.1.1 $HOME/opt/lib/
$ mv $HOME/opt/openssl-1.1.1o/libssl.so.1.1 $HOME/opt/lib/

and then

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/opt/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

as needed. You can also put this export in ~/.bashrc etc files if you need it enabled all the time.

The advantage of this approach is that if you need to remove openssl-1.1.1 from your machine, it is trivial. You can also pick and chose by just using the right LD_LIBRARY_PATH or providing the path to library during link.

While this solved the error mentioned in the title I am now getting errors like SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed (unable to get local issuer certificate), any clues? EDIT: I solved it combining your solution (the export in ~/.bashrc part) with this: deanpcmad.com/2022/… – Chrysler

This should really have more upvotes. Thanks for the answer, this is definitely the preferred way here! – Deification

At the time of writing, 1.1.1o as mentioned above fails to compile (certificate problem?) but 1.1.1t works. – Milled

@Milled I've updated the answer based on your comment. Thanks! – Interstratify

Answer 3

Download & install libssl1.1 latest version:

wget http://nz2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

Reserve

As of today 13/09/2022 THIS WORKS – Arvizu

It worked as of 19/02/2024 too – Rhinoscopy

It worked as of 31/03/2024. – Mardis

Answer 4

I've had the issue when upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04.

I use pyenv.

The solution for me was to reinstall the already installed versions of Python:

• list of installed versions:

  $ pyenv versions
  

• reinstall every version, eg for 3.9.6:

  $ pyenv install 3.9.6
  
  pyenv: /home/slesage/.pyenv/versions/3.9.6 already exists
  continue with installation? (y/N) y
  Downloading Python-3.9.6.tar.xz...
  -> https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.9.6/Python-3.9.6.tar.xz
  Installing Python-3.9.6...
  Installed Python-3.9.6 to /home/slesage/.pyenv/versions/3.9.6

Answer 5

I solved it by:

wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1o.tar.gz
tar -zxvf openssl-1.1.1o.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.1.1o
./config
make
make test
sudo make install
find / -name libssl.so.1.1
ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libssl.so.1.1  /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.1
ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libssl.so.1.1  /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.1
find / -name libcrypto.so.1.1
ln -s /home/ubuntu/openssl-1.1.1o/libcrypto.so.1.1    /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.1
ln -s /home/ubuntu/openssl-1.1.1o/libcrypto.so.1.1     /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1

Your answer could be improved with additional supporting information. Please edit to add further details, such as citations or documentation, so that others can confirm that your answer is correct. You can find more information on how to write good answers in the help center. – Militant

I had to similarly create symlinks in /usr/lib, so this was what solved it for me. (Still missing a tar command at the top, though.) – Complemental

what's the path to cd openssl-1-1-1o - it can't find the folder – Mme

Answer 6

I had the same problem using nodejs in a nvm env. I did not find any deb packages with libopenssl1.1 for ubuntu jammy and finally get to the point I manually installed it :

wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1o.tar.gz
tar -zxvf openssl-1.1.1o.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.1.1o
./config
make
make test
sudo make install

Note: The latest openssl version can be downloaded from OpenSSL. The version used above is for example only.

Godbeare

I had this when switching to ubuntu 22.04 with makemkv. installing openssl as described and recompiling makemkv did the trick. although I miss the tar -xzf openssl-1.1.1o.tar.gz before line 2 – Misanthrope

what's the path to openssl-1.1.1o? – Mme

Resuming all.

Solution for ubuntu 22.04

Env before problem: pyenv -> poetry

Don't try to fix by pyenv, poetry, pip, etc. its ssl lib! Just

wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1o.tar.gz
tar -zxvf openssl-1.1.1o.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.1.1o
./config
make
make test      (failed 2 tests)
sudo make install (on this moment you can't install python by pyenv)
sudo find / -name libssl.so.1.1
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.1.1  /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.1
sudo find / -name libcrypto.so.1.1
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1

now you can install python by pyenv and needed package must work

Answer 9

Well, luckily I'm using pyenv to manage python versions on my system. I was using python 3.9.10 before, and had a bug with ssl on ubuntu 22.04.

I just removed Python 3.9.10 and installed 3.9.12, made it global, it fixed my problem.

pyenv uninstall 3.9.10
pyenv install 3.9.12
pyenv global 3.9.12

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

---

As @larsks suggested, just re-installing the environment should be enough (it's not even needed to upgrade the Python version). Reinstall the environment will use currently installed system libs.

The proposed answer is outdated https://mcmap.net/q/181759/-libssl-so-1-1-cannot-open-shared-object-file-no-such-file-or-directory as the deb file location was changed, the new script to fix that would be:

Answer 12

In my case, I'm using asdf and Python and I had just upgraded my OS (copying my entire home directory). I had to asdf uninstall python 3.10.12 and then asdf install python 3.10.12 to get it to rebuild python against the updated dependencies on my system

Answer 13

I had to replace the local version of poetry by the latest version. First attempt of re-installation asked for python3-venv so that the final two commands were:

sudo apt-get install python3-venv
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python3 -

Answer 15

I faced the same issue when I try to run an Erlang application. I tried installing openssl-1 related packages using various methods, but all failed.

Then I found related libcrypto.so.1.1 file from an old Ubuntu server's following path : /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1 and moved it to Ubuntu 22.04 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

This helped to solve my issue. Now Ubuntu 22.04 has both libcrypto.so.1.1 and libcrypto.so.3.
