Fwd: [MacPorts] #19122: OpenSSL 1.0.0-beta1 breaks packages that expect libcrypto.0.9.8

[watson]

hi there,

i'm struggling with getting OpenSSL to play nice with other ports.
below is a response by ryan to my comments on this ticket:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19122#comment:18

in summary, here's what happened: In trying to install Matplotlib
(python plotting util)... i ran into trouble with wxWidgets-python
failing. Someone posted a workaround involving installing Mesa which I
followed here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/macports-users@lists.macosforge.org/msg19905.html

Apparently, in the process of doing this I screwed up (by upgrading?)
OpenSSL, which breaks a lot of things I use including Git it seems.

I am unclear how to proceed from this point. should I force a
downgrade of OpenSSL? Or is it possible that there are other versions
of the components (such as cURL, git, python) that can all use OpenSSL
v1.0.0a? I am incredulous since it is only in the last month that
installed MacPorts on my machine.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Cheers,
watson

Comment:

 MacPorts 1.9 now prevents you from deactivating a port that is being used.
 If you're sure you still want to, force it with

 {{{
 sudo port -f deactivate openssl
 }}}

 The issues leading to this ticket being filed were that openssl was
 updated to 1.0.0 beta but dependents did not have their revisions
 increased to force a rebuild, hence things broke. Now that openssl has
 been updated to 1.0.0a final and dependencies have had their revisions
 bumped, the problem should no longer exist, so I would not expect you to
 need to go back to 0.9.8anything. If you would like to discuss why you
 think you do need that, or need further assistance using MacPorts, please
 write to [http://www.macports.org/contact.php#Lists macports-users]. This
 ticket is closed.
