alt-nodejs16: version `OPENSSL_1_1_1e' not found (required by /opt/alt/alt-nodejs16/root/usr/lib64/libnode.so.93)

Issue

Using alt-nodejs16 version, it fails to start with the error below:

/opt/alt/alt-nodejs16/root/usr/bin/node -v
/opt/alt/alt-nodejs16/root/usr/bin/node: /opt/alt/alt-nodejs16/root/usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_1e' not found (required by /opt/alt/alt-nodejs16/root/usr/lib64/libnode.so.93)

Environment

• CloudLinux OS
• alt-nodejs16 < 16.20.2-16

Solution

Update alt-nodejs16-nodejs to version 16.20.2-16 or higher.

Workaround

Remove the following packages:

rpm -e alt-nodejs16-openssl alt-nodejs16-openssl-devel alt-nodejs16-openssl-libs

These packages have already been marked as obsolete by our packaging team, and they will be removed automatically in upcoming updates. 

Cause

When the alt-nodejs16-openssl-libs-1.1.1b package is installed, its library libcrypto.so.1.1 is loaded instead of the system's default version. 

This conflict is causing issues with the latest alt-nodejs16 packages.
