Deprecated OpenSSL 1.1.1 Dependency on Linux

[drigos]

Description

When attempting to execute the Teller tool on a Linux system, I encountered an error related to a missing OpenSSL dependency. The required version, OpenSSL 1.1.1, is considered obsolete. Below are the steps to reproduce the issue and the exact error message received.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the Teller tool for Linux (x86_64) from the official source.
2. Navigate to the directory containing the downloaded binary.
3. Run the command ./teller --version.

Expected Behavior:

The version of the Teller tool should be displayed without any errors.

Actual Behavior:

The following error message is displayed:

./teller: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_1' not found (required by ./teller)

System Information:

OS: Ubuntu 22.04.4
Teller version: v2.0.7
OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 3.0.2 15 Mar 2022

Additional Context:

The Teller binary is currently compiled against OpenSSL 1.1.1, an obsolete version that is no longer available on new systems. Updating Teller to use a more recent version of OpenSSL, such as 3.0 or later, would ensure better compatibility and security.

I was able to download and install on the library on Ubuntu 24.04 (WSL) from one of the mirrors here, e.g.:

wget http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.23_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.23_amd64.deb
teller --version
# teller 2.0.7
