version `OPENSSL_3.3.0' not found

[sloisel]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm the author of the Julia package MultiGridBarrier.jl. I use the action julia-docdeploy. I've used it for maybe a year, maybe more. It worked until a couple of months ago.

Just now, I pushed a change to my tree. I use github actions to 1) run tests, and 2) deploy documentation. The tests ran fine, but the documentation deployment failed. Here is a relevant snippet from the log:

ERROR: LoadError: InitError: could not load library "/home/runner/.julia/artifacts/a696e1e3e6b8d3c2c4b67609357ebc5c35eabde1/lib/libssl.so"
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.3: version `OPENSSL_3.3.0' not found (required by /home/runner/.julia/artifacts/a696e1e3e6b8d3c2c4b67609357ebc5c35eabde1/lib/libssl.so)

The workflow is here, labeled docs:

Why is it suddenly failing when trying to find OPENSSL 3.3.0?

Thanks,

From this closed issue on Documenter.jl, it seems that a workaround is to add Pkg.add(name="OpenSSL_jll", version="3.0") to your workflow yml file. Github user tamasgal has a minimum working example here. At the time of this writing, their yml file with the fix is here.

Obviously, this is a temporary workaround that does not fully resolve the issue.
