dependency on openssl broken???

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

MacOS Big Sur 11.6, Xcode-13.0, current Macports.

Port seems to believe that openssl @1.1.1l_1 is older than and needs to be updated to openssl @1.1_0.

$ port version
Version: 2.7.1
$ port outdated
The following installed ports are outdated:
links                          2.24_0 < 2.25_0           
openssl                        1.1.1l_1 < 1.1_0  (epoch 1 < 2)  
$ port installed openssl
The following ports are currently installed:
  openssl @1.1_0
  openssl @1.1.1l_1 (active)

Then, something weird - not sure if it's related:

$ port -d outdated
The following installed ports are outdated:

I removed all the ports via sudo port -f uninstall installed, and tried from scratch.

OpenSSL port screw-up still breaks it:

I saw something similar in one of my macOS installations last night... 10.12 maybe?

@cjones/@jmroot, any thoughts?

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

Please make sure your ports tree is fully up to date and try again ? The current version of openssl is 1.1_3 and the above is 1.1_0

 > port info openssl
openssl @1.1_3 (devel, security)
Variants:             universal

Please make sure your ports tree is fully up to date and try again ?

I tried multiple times, and I always do sudo port sync && sudo port selfupdate before doing (or re-doing) something. So, absolutely, got the same result.

Maybe it's less relevant now, as I deleted all of the installed ports, and re-populating one-by-one. Royal pain in the neck, because restore_ports.tcl never ever worked for me.

I'd like to add that making v1.1 newer than v1.1.1 was, in my opinion, a very bad idea:

openssl                        1.1.1l_1 < 1.1_0  (epoch 1 < 2)

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

Changing the numbering scheme, dropping the minor patch versions from the shim port was necessary, and the epoch is there for this very scenario. Nothing wrong with doing this.

I suspect you must of had some manual intervention on your install area, to get a message like

Error: Failed to activate openssl: Image error: /opt/local/include/openssl already exists and does not belong to a registered port.

It would have been useful if you had deactivated all openssl and the curl-ca-bundle ports, and then had a look to see what was there, but I guess thats not an option now.

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

Also, your port tree *cannot* have been up to date if you had been trying to in stall openssl 1.1_0.....

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

I suspect you must of had some manual intervention on your install area

No, Macports simply got confused by versioning, and did not install 1.1_0 over deactivated 1.1.1l. I did not know which one to force out either.

Also, your port tree *cannot* have been up to date if you had been trying to install openssl 1.1_0

It was - at the date/time of this ticket creation! Of course, during the last 37 hours openssl moved from 1.1_0 to 1.1_3 and then 1.1_5.

I suspect 1.1_0 broke things, subsequently improved in 1.1_3 and fixed in 1.1_5. I was "lucky" to catch the half-baked release 1.1_0.

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

Replying to mouse07410:

I suspect you must of had some manual intervention on your install area

No, Macports simply got confused by versioning, and did not install 1.1_0 over deactivated 1.1.1l. I did not know which one to force out either.

No, Macports had no issues with the versions. It understands epochs just fine. Your error message was clear - there where files under /opt/local/include/openssl that where not registered to any port and hence openssl could not activate as it wanted to create that area. Since you wiped the area before investigating we cannot at this point know what they where.

Also, your port tree *cannot* have been up to date if you had been trying to install openssl 1.1_0

It was - at the date/time of this ticket creation! Of course, during the last 37 hours openssl moved from 1.1_0 to 1.1_3 and then 1.1_5.

there is no openssl 1.1_5 version..... 1.1_3 is still the latest. (openssl11 is at 1.1.1l_5 but that is a different port).

Yes, at the time you opened the ticket 1.1_0 might still have been the latest. But things have been fixed since then which is why I asked you to try again with the latest versions, which at the time (and still is) openssl 1.1_3.

I suspect 1.1_0 broke things, subsequently improved in 1.1_3 and fixed in 1.1_5. I was "lucky" to catch the half-baked release 1.1_0.

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

here is no openssl 1.1_5 version..... 1.1_3 is still the latest. (openssl11 is at 1.1.1l_5 but that is a different port).

Could you please explain what I'm observing now on all of my machines after successful update? Does it look correct to you?

$ port -v installed | grep openssl

Note that OpenSSL was not installed explicitly, but (in this case) as a dependency of other ports.

[cjones051073 (Chris Jones)]

looks fine to me. what exactly confuses you ?

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

@Mouse, bear in mind that port openssl is now a shim port, which creates symlinks to openssl11. So it's correct that you have both installed.

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

looks fine to me. what exactly confuses you ?

This:

"1.1_3 is still the latest. (openssl11 is at 1.1.1l_5 but that is a different port)."

port openssl is now a shim port, which creates symlinks to openssl11. So it's correct that you have both installed.

Thanks
