  • hfsprogs depends on libssl1.1 which is obsolete

    From Rick Thomas@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 26 01:10:02 2022
    The package libssl1.1 seems to have been removed from the powerpc/ppc64 archives.

    However the package hfsprogs depends on it.

    hfsprogs is vital on powerpc/ppc34 .

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks!

    Yes, there is a transition going on towards OpenSSL 3.0.

    hfsprogs needs to be rebuild against OpenSSL 3.0. I will take care of it.

    Indeed, much obliged. But why's hfsprogs in need of OpenSSL anyhow?

    This has been done now. hfsprogs 540.1.linux3-5+ports no longer depends on libssl1.1.

    Library transitions are handled by the release team, not by me. Otherwise I would
    have to manually rebuild thousands of packages. The ongoing OpenSSL transition can
    be observed here for the release architectures:

    https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-openssl.html

    and for the Debian Ports architectures:

    https://ben.jrtc27.com/html/auto-openssl.html

    hfsprogs was a special case, because that package was built manually in the first
    place as Debian Ports does not support the contrib and non-free sections yet.

    If libsnmp has not been rebuilt against libssl3.0 yet, it usually means there is
    a bug in the package which prevents it from building with OpenSSL 3.0 which is indeed the case for net-snmp:

    Thanks for the excellent explanation! I understand the situation much better now.

    Again, I very much appreciate your efforts!
    Thanks,
