We use Red Hat Enterprise Linux to build x86_64 RPMs for RHEL and its
clones.

Red Hat pushed OpenSSL 3.5 as a part of 10.1 and 9.7 release, and these
updates did not make into both Rocky and Alma yet.

Currently latest minor updates built on RHEL 10.1 and 9.7 cannot be
installed on Rocky/Alma 9 and 10 because of this.

We always had LLVM breakage during RHEL minor updates that was slightly
easier to deal with and affected very minority of users (and we have
sysupdates repo anyway and there is a plan to fix it permanently for
future), but this OpenSSL update issue is not easy to solve.

FWIW Rocky/Alma 8 are not affected.

So this is just a "I know the problem, however currently there is not
much I can do other than waiting for Rocky and Alma to catch up" email,
but I'm also open to suggestions.

Does this also mean that they do not work for, say, RHEL 9.6
that is not updated to 9.7?

Hi,

I think I fixed this problem. Rocky Linux / Alma Linux 9 and 10 users
please enable sysupdates repo first. You may need a recent repository
RPM/configuration (pushed a new repository RPM today as well) . That
repo now includes OpenSSL 3.5.1 along with LLVM/CLANG 20, crypto-
policies, etc and all of them have PGDG suffix in the package names. My
tests were successful on my test boxes.

Regards, Devri

FYI,

With sysupdates enabled, this doesn't work on one of my test VMs here.
Thats because it has mesa-vulkan drivers installed (gnome-session
depends on it) and they want llvm-19, but sysupdates now has llvm-20 in
its offering. The output:

There are more problems logged, but it seems they're all related to
this conflict.

I know I cannot make everyone and every installation happy (for now, at
least), and I definitely intentionally ignored those dependencies by
aiming at server installations only. Sorry about that, this is the first
time it happened and lots of last-minute updates ended up with lack of
testing on Rocky and AlmaLinux :( Apologies.

That said, working on a permanent solution:
