Unable to install conf-ssl

[abhi18av]

Hello everyone,

I was trying to install the slacko package for automating the slack-ops and I am unable to install this due to a failure to install conf-ssl package.

On deeper analysis, I guess this might be due to the fact that conda has setup it's own openssl in the conda-specific environment

The output of which openssl is

linux-1s35:~ # which openssl
/root/miniconda3/bin/openssl


linux-1s35:~/miniconda3/lib # ls | grep '.*ssl.*'
libssl.a
libssl.so
libssl.so.1.0.0

And the output of install conf-openssl is as follows

linux-1s35:~/miniconda3/lib # opam install slacko --verbose
[WARNING] Running as root is not recommended
The following actions will be performed:
  - install conf-openssl 1      [required by ssl]

  - install slacko       0.14.1

I encountered this issue and ensuring I had the proper system dependencies resolved it. Check the depexts for conf-openssl for your os-distribution and ensure you have this installed.

I have the same issue on Windows 10 with

$ opam switch
#   switch                          compiler                        description
->  ocaml-variants.4.07.1+mingw64c  ocaml-variants.4.07.1+mingw64c  ocaml-variants.4.07.1+mingw64c

$ opam-depext.exe
# Detecting depexts using vars: arch=x86_64, os=win32, os-distribution=cygwinports, os-family=windows

openssl in installed in cygwin, but I see that in the conf-ssl opam file there are no depexts for such environment, so no possibility to install it?
