which openssl

Output:

openssl binary placed in folder:
/bin
/usr/bin/

but:

/usr/bin/openssl version

/bin/openssl version

OpenSSL 1.1.0g 2 Nov 2017

Do I have to delete the openssl binary in /bin?

Do I need package?
openssl1.0

I did this:

I deleted openssl binary in /bin
Deleted:

/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so
/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0
/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1

/usr/local/lib/libssl.so
/usr/local/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0
/usr/local/lib/libssl.so.1.1

then:
apt-get install --reinstall openssl
apt-get install --reinstall libssl1.1

which openssl
Output:
/usr/bin/openssl

/usr/bin/openssl version

Output:
OpenSSL 1.1.1 11 Sep 2018

What about package "openssl1.0 & libssl1.0.0"
Do I need them?

Packages openssl1.0 is not installed and libssl1.0.0 is installed.

Is that right @ lah7?

#45

Yeah :slight_smile: Update-Manager is working now. It was a OpenSSL problem.

What's with /etc/update-manager/meta-release?

Can I use?
#'https'#
URI = https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release
URI_LTS = https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts

or should it?
URI = http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release
URI_LTS = http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts

#46

Great stuff - I'm not sure how you've ended up with a custom broken build of OpenSSL but at least it's working again.

I just checked an up-to-date 18.04 instance and the latest version of OpenSSL is indeed 1.1.1 11 Sep 2018.

For /etc/update-manager/meta-release, the default (and recommended) is https - the s meaning secure connections are established to the server, reducing the chance of a man-in-the-middle attack while it is in transit over the internet.

#47

I have @ /etc/update-manager/meta-release:

URI = https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release
URI_LTS = https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts

sudo apt-get update

How can I change all http urls to https?

Edit my sources.list and change all urls there to https?

#48

Yes, change them in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, then run sudo apt update again.

#49

ok, I'll do that, thanks......

#50

@ lah7, which ubuntu package apt server do you have in sources.list with https?

these not working with https:
deb https://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted
deb https://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted

deb https://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic universe
deb https://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates universe

deb https://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted
deb https://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security universe

so I revert back to http, after that it works again.

#51

My bad! I replied while I was on my phone and didn't actually check my sources.list or if the server actually supports HTTPS, which it doesn't. :man_facepalming:

deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic universe
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates universe
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic multiverse
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates multiverse
deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security multiverse

While HTTPS is generally important to have, it's not necessary for Apt packages as they are signed with a key trusted by the system. So in this case, security is not compromised as the package will be refused if it was tampered with.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

So, these need to stay HTTP. Sorry, I should have double checked. :frowning:

In Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS I was frustrated by SEGV crashes,
in do-release-upgrade ( ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release ) every time.
Also I got a consistent SEGV if I tried to run update-manager
I had tried lots of other things, lots of other checking ... to find the problem.
And was not figuring it out. That is, until I walked through this post. ( Which is grand, BTW )
Hooray, my problem was caused by an installation of openssl-1.1.0f under /usr/local/...
for which I had no source build ; but I was able to, manually, clean out those files - and that finally resolved it.
Thanks !!
