[indiana-discuss] I did a stupid thing - pkg uninstall openssl

[Jeff Brown]

I was thinking I'd update a few pieces of software manually by compiling a current version of OpenSSL and OpenSSH but didn't want the version in pkg to conflict with the version that I was about to compile.  So, I thought I'd uninstall openssl and openssh via pkg, thinking that it would tell me if any other packages relied upon those two.

It said no dependencies (I didn't believe it, but thougth how bad could it be).

Now I need to start with Gnome Failsafe because:

ld.so.1: ssh-agent: fatal: libcrypto.so.0.9.8: open failed: No such file or directory
ld.so.1: ssh-agent: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/bin/ssh-agent: symbol OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf: referenced symbol not found

I thought that I'd fix it with a package from Sunfreeware -- No luck:
 pfexec pkgadd -d ./openssl-0.9.8g-sol10-x86-local
ld.so.1: pkgadd: fatal: libssl.so.0.9.8: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed


I thought perhaps I'd run pkg to get it back:

pfexec pkg install SUNWopenssl

So far, I've managed to put a compiled version of openssl back on the system, but it of course is not in the place where everything is looking for it, so now I'm having fun compiling openssh.

Any suggestions on how I might easily get pkg or pkgadd to work?  or am I better off grabbing a few binaries from a working system (using something other than ssh)?  

All suggestions are welcome (and even some ribbing for my silly action -- what was I thinking -- remove ssl -- right, that will work)
