Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

After downloading the deb and running --fix-broken to ensure I had webkit and libjavascript core, I still couldn't get Hoppscotch to start from my task runner.

Running it in the terminal explains why.

hoppscotch: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Debian 12 and Ubuntu have upgraded to libssl3.0, and as such will not be compatible with this. Any chance of either bundling libssl1.1 with the application, or upgrading to openssl 3?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Download deb file for Linux
  2. $ sudo dpkg -i <debfile>
  3. $ sudo apt --fix-broken install
  4. $ hoppscotch
    hoppscotch: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Environment

Production

For temporary fix, use this commands

wget https://debian.mirror.ac.za/debian/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1w-0%2Bdeb11u1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1w-0%2Bdeb11u1_amd64.deb

It works! But I had to download the package by myself (in my case using the mirror in Brazil)
http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1w-0+deb11u1_amd64.deb

Installed on Ubuntu 24.10 after installing other packages described on #4235
