Is this being worked. I keep paying for the paid upgrades and more and more of the old stuff doesn't work. I would chip in more to fix this.

[alexissel]

Is there a fix for this issue?

[abjugard]

Also having this issue.

[deathaxe]

The current oscrypto library version, used by Package Control is not compatible with OpenSSL3.

The two currently available fixes are:

1. Install Package Control 4.0 beta

Either, directly update from Package Control 3.4 by adding the following to Package Control.sublime-settings

"install_prereleases": ["Package Control"]

Or - if already hit by not loading Package control - download latest beta from https://github.com/wbond/package_control/releases

Rename the file to Package Control.sublime-package and copy it to Installed Packages.

2. Install OpenSSL 1.1

To do so, please follow instructions illustrated multiple times in wbond/package_control#1612.

[alexissel]

I tried with Package Control 4.0 beta and it works, the issue is fixed.

Thanks deathaxe

[jgburet]

Same issue, following "step 1 > or ..." worked and now it's back to normal. I only had to restart a few times ST for it to stop throwing error in the console.

[swankalot]

Same issue on a Mac (intel), OS 12.6.7
Recently upgraded to the latest ST 4151 & 4152 builds, and noticed the same behavior shown by nbrooks09: wbond/package_control#1612 (comment)
Deathaxe to the rescue (downloaded the latest beta), though I followed the more detailed instructions here: wbond/package_control#1612 (comment)
Thanks Deathaxe

[Pantagrueliste]

Same issue here, but I cannot access to package control settings (fresh install).

[DesBw]

Thank you for the fix. The beta fixed the issue for me.

[Semmu]

One thing to note here: I faced the same issue, temporarily installed the beta release of Package Control, but it didn't work, because for some reason Package Control was added to the ignored_packages list in my settings file... Don't know how or why it happened, but PSA, if it does not seem to do anything, have a look at your ignored_packages list.
