apkeep not working on Debian due to missing libssl.so.1.1
andro-phile opened this issue · 4 comments
Bug Description
The release binary apkeep 0.15.0 fails to run on the latest debian stable (debian 12 - bookworm). Apparently due to libssl1.1 not being included in debian stable anymore.
It is a bit confusing since apkeep's change log for [0.14.0] - 2022-11-21 already mentions switching to OpenSSL 3.0.7.
Error Message
./apkeep-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Temporary Solution (Compiling Source Code)
As of commit 74c63f8, compiling the source code works fine. I could successfully run apkeep and download the vlc apk from apkpure, f-droid and huawei-app-gallery.
Build Steps
Here are 3 steps to build the apkeep binary from Source Code, for Debian Stable (debian 12 - bookworm):
Install missing packages via apt. in my case
sudo apt install curl pkg-config libssl-dev
Install Rust, by running
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
Install apkeep from the latest commit in this repository
cargo install --git https://github.com/EFForg/apkeep.git
@andro-phile have you tested this solution by downloading an APK from the Google Play Store? It compile but it fail with a Could not log in to Google Play. Please check your credentials and try again later. error.
I tried to compile it with the default version of OpenSSL in Debian 12 (OpenSSL 3.0.11 19 Sep 2023).
It seems only OpenSSL 1.1.1w works for the Google Play Store for now.
any solutions on how to compile with OpenSSL 1.1.1w ? In order to get Google Play Store working
This should work with the latest version of lib-ssl in Debian, compiling was successful on our build machine. Please let me know if problem resurfaces.
