[Breaking change]: .NET packages for openSUSE and SLES will be updated to depend on OpenSSL 3.x #50709
Description
Description
We recently found that one of the distro versions that users install these packages on no longer offers OpenSSL 1.x, which breaks the dependency requirements on our packages. .NET 6+ supports OpenSSL 3.x so this change is solely a change in package dependencies.
It's possible that someone is using these packages on a system that offers both OpenSSL 1.x and 3.x and this change will break some aspect of their system. The current behavior is already breaking people, so this risk seems warranted.
Context:
Version
.NET 8
Previous behavior
.NET packages depend on OpenSSL 1.x
New behavior
.NET packages depend on OpenSSL 3.x
Type of breaking change
- Binary incompatible: Existing binaries might encounter a breaking change in behavior, such as failure to load or execute, and if so, require recompilation.
- Source incompatible: When recompiled using the new SDK or component or to target the new runtime, existing source code might require source changes to compile successfully.
- Behavioral change: Existing binaries might behave differently at run time.

Recommended action
Most user don't need to do anything. If this change breaks your system, you may need to either make other changes to your system or sttop installing .NET via packages.
