@alanc@fosstodon.org Thanks. I think the previous BE will be the only option. I didn't intend to do a drop-in replacement. I think instead of setting mediators (apparently incorrectly, such that it immediately switched to 3) I should have removed the links that the Userland openssl3 was trying to make for /usr/lib/libcrypto.so that conflicted with the openssl-1.x. Yeah, I've borked the pkg system. Wish Oracle would release Userland compiled packages to those of us with personal machines.

@nhbriggs@mastodon.social the compiled packages from the CBE release are available on http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/ - we're trying to get that updated more frequently going forward (it's been 3 years since the last update there, but even that has both OpenSSL 1.0.2 & 3.0 packages). I don't think we ever offered a mediator to switch between OpenSSL 1.0 & 3.0 because of the incompatibilities.

@alanc@fosstodon.org Success. Since I still had an unprivileged session active (and nobody else did), got someone with role=root to share their password. Normally I can sudo for admin, but couldn't when libcrypto.so.1.0.0 was not locatable. I recompiled a 1.0.2t openssl, and with su thatuser and su root put libcrypto.so.1.0.0 into the expected place. Everything is back to normal. Now to figure how I screwed it up.
