libssl.so.1.1missing in Ubuntu 22.04 (POP OS)

[bashfulrobot]

Describe the bug When installing ncspot (v0.9.8) on Ubuntu 22.04, you end up with the following error:

❯ ncspot
ncspot: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Download: https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot/releases/download/{{ ncspot_release.tag }}/ncspot-{{ ncspot_release.tag }}-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
2. extract the files and rename to ncspot (binary)
3. sudo install ncspot /usr/local/bin
4. See error.

Expected behaviour ncspot to open up and prompt for login`

Screenshots

System (please complete the following information): — OS: POP OS 22.04 (Ubuntu based) — Terminal: GNOME Terminal Version 3.44.0 for GNOME 42 — Version: v0.9.8 – downloaded from the releases — Installed from: GitHub

Additional context

— The missing libcrypto.so.1.1 is part of libssl1.1 which is not available in 22.04.

This is not the way to solve this, but if you download the deb file and install, the error goes away and ncspot works. I was just confirming that the issue is simply a missing package.

Hmm, I think it's because the binary is built for the previous Ubuntu LTS. Unfortunately there's no way to cover all the various OS distros, so I don't think there's too much I can do here: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments#available-environments

In the future, ubuntu-latest will probably use 22.04, so it should be solved at some point.

I know they are working on it. It can be used as a “beta”.

I suspect I have a related issue to this, so adding it here. When trying to install the deb for easyteather I'm getting an error on libssl1.1. I can't seem to find a way to install libssl1.1 though. Google searches are suggesting it's an apt install which isn't found on my PopOS 22.04. This was working before the 22.04 upgrade, but was one of many things I'm needing to re-install following the upgrade.

Scratch my last comment, it appears that the easytether app just needs to update support for libssl3 to support Ubuntu/PopOS 22.04. I thought of deleting the comment, it's a little out of place, but since I found this issue during the debugging process it's likely others will as well, and perhaps it can help them..
