segfault with OpenSSL 3 #164

Closed tobip closed 1 year ago

tobip commented 1 year ago

I get a segfault running torrential in combination with OpenSSL 3 (openssl 3.0.7 in my case).

Output:


[2022-11-23 18:56:48.883] tr_crypto_utils: OpenSSL error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported
[1]    143752 segmentation fault (core dumped)  torrential```

This is an incompatibility with Transmission 3.0 and OpenSSL 3.0. It uses some methods in OpenSSL that are now considered legacy.

I patch around it in my Flatpak with https://github.com/davidmhewitt/torrential/commit/9eb27a37134f02b52c8b16f68519544e9eacb85a but this possibly isn't suitable for other packaging methods.

Might have to wait and see what the status of Transmission 4.0 is with regards to this.
