Cannot use in Ubuntu 22.04

[felipecrs]

After installing it, I receive the following error when trying to run:

$ volta
volta: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Out of curiosity:

$ openssl version
OpenSSL 3.0.1 14 Dec 2021 (Library: OpenSSL 3.0.1 14 Dec 2021)

[felipecrs]

This solves the issue:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install libssl1.1 -y

But I suppose this was not supposed to be needed. Ideally the Volta binary should contain all it needs?

My guess is that this is a duplicate of #1150: Currently we build against OpenSSL 1.0 and OpenSSL 1.1. We have an open RFC volta-cli/rfcs#47 for switching to Rustls, which would statically link and avoid OpenSSL compatibility issues (which are a huge pain). There's also some in-progress work towards that end, which has hit some snags with our environment / backwards compatibility needs.

Good to know that this is the case for the next major Ubuntu release, I think that bumps the priority up!

[felipecrs]

Agreed. Closing as duplicate. Can't wait to see volta-cli/rfcs#47 implemented.

This no longer works:

→ sudo apt update && sudo apt install libssl1.1 -y

It looks like volta is unusable on ubuntu 22.04 for the time being

[felipecrs]

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS will be released tomorrow, by the way, and indeed Volta is unusable there right now.
