poppler 0.57.0 does not upgrade from poppler @0.56.0_0

[Zweihorn (@Zweihorn)]

today the usual port upgrade outdated failed with:

Error: Failed to build poppler: command execution failed

during the upgrade to current port poppler 0.57.0 from poppler @0.56.0_0

the reason seems to be

an investigating shows installed libs are

• /opt/local/lib/libssl.43.dylib
• /opt/local/lib/libssl.a
• /opt/local/lib/libssl.dylib
• /opt/local/lib/libcurl.4.dylib
• /opt/local/lib/libcurl.a
• /opt/local/lib/libcurl.dylib

so libssl.1.0.0.dylib is missing

a reduced list of my installed ports:

• libtool @2.4.6_3 (active)
• libressl @2.5.5_0 (active)
• curl @7.54.1_0+ssl
• curl @7.55.1_0+ssl (active)
• curl-ca-bundle @7.54.1_1
• curl-ca-bundle @7.55.1_0 (active)
• poppler @0.56.0_0 (active)
• poppler-data @0.4.7_0
• poppler-data @0.4.8_0 (active)

first guess: could a symbol link from new libssl.1.0.0.dylib to target libssl.dylib help?

what would be the appropriate port to improve? poppler? libressl?

[kencu (Ken)]

openssl provides /opt/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib. Does libressl not have that?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to kencu:

openssl provides /opt/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib. Does libressl not have that?

No, it does not; libressl provides /opt/local/lib/libssl.43.dylib.

Our handling of libressl in MacPorts is flawed, in my opinion. As we can see, libressl is not a drop-in replacement for openssl, and MacPorts ports that depend on openssl should not, as they currently do, pretend that it is.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

See #54744

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Just considering this a dupe of #54744.

Please just stick with libressl and rebuild ports that are dependent on it.

[janstary (Jan Starý)]

Tis os not one of those OpenSSL vs LibreSSL situations: curl will happily be rebuilt against LibreSSL, without change. (I had the very same problem.)
