Transmission not working after upgrade to f36

Ask Fedora
1

Hi all,
I just upgrade from f35 to f36 and everything works well… but Transmission.

I still have the icon in the menu, but when I click on, nothing happens.

So I tried to launch with command lines transmission-daemon, then I tried to reinstall, then to install; and everything seems to work, but it still impossible to launch the app:

[dxxx@desktop-e28mrr4 ~]$ sudo dnf reinstall transmission
[sudo] Mot de passe de xxx :

Do you have any idea where to start?

I tried to install the daemon and to launch it, but does work. I will wait for your advice 'cause I have the feeling I am not doing good, and I don’t want to make it worst.

start transmission-gtk from command line and see what error messages you get.

Thank you for your help!

Here is the return:

[xxx@fedora ~]$ transmission-gtk
transmission-gtk: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But as you saw before, transmission is supposed to be installed…

So I tried it but didn’t go through as I wasn’t sure to understand:

sudo dnf install libssl.so.1.1
[sudo] Mot de passe de xxx :

This is a 64-bit system, so you’ll want the 64-bit library, not the 32-bit one.

Use sudo dnf install 'libssl.so.1.1()(64bit)' instead.

Transmission already has this dependency though, so it’s odd that it isn’t installed already.

I already tried to uninstall and reinstall, I would bet there is like a double install, and the command-line/gui point to the wrong one… Is there something like a repertory with the command line and the pointed programme? Could it be an addressing error?

Well that’s completely broken. lightworks should not be providing libssl.so.1.1()(64bit) since it is neither OpenSSL, nor does it actually contain that library in an accessible place (as you can tell since programs requiring it cannot find it.) You should report a bug to whoever provided you with that package.

In the meantime, assuming it doesn’t conflict more, I think you can fix this by installing the correct libssl.so.1.1 from dnf install 'openssl1.1(x86-64)'

I don’t get it, I thought openssl1.1 is going away in Fedora 37 but for some reason it is still being built and transmission still installs fine on F37.

Can anyone please explain to me?

A package that is deprecated is not necessarily obsolete. Deprecation is just one step in encouraging developers to switch away from using that package.
