It is already deleted in TW.
It’ll deleted in the next Leap (Leap 16.0)?
What output do you get from: rpm -q --whatrequires libopenssl1_1?
For me (not the OP)
# rpm -q --whatrequires libopenssl1_1
no package requires libopenssl1_1
#
And now, let’s try this (personally, I have no reason to remove it, but thought I’d contribute)
# zypper rm libopenssl1_1

The following 207 packages are going to be REMOVED:
NetworkManager-openconnect NetworkManager-openconnect-lang acpica alsa-plugins-pulse apparmor-utils apparmor-utils-lang
autoyast2-installation cifs-utils discover-backend-flatpak discover-backend-fwupd
[snipped a bunch of listed files ]

yast2-users yast2-vm zypper-lifecycle-plugin
The following 5 patterns are going to be REMOVED:
kde kde_plasma kde_yast yast2_basis yast2_desktop
207 packages to remove.
Same results, 500+ packages to remove with
sudo zypper rm --dry-run libopenssl1_1
:~> LANG=C rpm -q --whatrequires libopenssl1_1
no package requires libopenssl1_1
The problem apparently is with libcrypto.so.1.1()(64bit):
localhost:~ # rpm -q --whatrequires 'libcrypto.so.1.1()(64bit)'
python3-pycurl-7.43.0.2-4.3.1.x86_64
libevent-2_1-8-2.1.8-2.23.x86_64
python3-cryptography-3.3.2-150400.23.1.x86_64

python3-base-3.6.15-150300.10.81.1.x86_64
localhost:~ #
and libopenssl1_1 is the only package providing that:
localhost:~ # rpm -q --whatprovides 'libcrypto.so.1.1()(64bit)'
libopenssl1_1-1.1.1w-150600.5.9.1.x86_64
localhost:~ #
BTW,
can work with libopenssl3.
But others, yes, cannot.
@Svyatko why do you need to delete, it’s a Leap 15.6 supported package…
Then you should read Post #2 and consult with @hendersj about your response … that Admin asked for the output.
I simply responded to the suggestion.
Here on Leap 15.6 –

N.B.: “openssl-3” – it was installed when I upgraded to Leap 15.6 on the 16th of June last year – together with “openssl-1_1” …
Since then, both the “3” and the “1_1” OpenSSL version have received patches and updates but, recently the “1_1” version has been quiet …
Which package needs the “1_1” OpenSSL version?
> rpm --query --requires php7-openssl

If, you still have PHP7 installed then, you’ll need the “1_1” OpenSSL version.
PHP8 is available for Leap 15.6 but, I haven’t installed it to date.
Like SLES, SLED is based on openSUSE Tumbleweed and shares a common codebase with openSUSE Leap. Software package libopenssl1_1 is part of this common codebase.
libopenssl1_1 is included in the repository “Basesystem” for SLES15 SP6 and SLED15 SP6.

Beschreibung :
OpenSSL is a software library to be used in applications that need to
secure communications over computer networks against eavesdropping or
need to ascertain the identity of the party at the other end.
OpenSSL contains an implementation of the SSL and TLS protocols.

Short version: It is the job of the company SUSE to patch all known security holes in this common codebase. SUSE has the job to deliver security updates for libopenssl1_1 to SLES15 SP6, SLED15 SP6 and openSUSE Leap 15.6 until 2025-12-31.
And as you can read in the SLES15 SP6 release notes, SUSE will replace OpenSSL 1.1 with a fresher version.
Stay relaxed:
Python 3.6 is upstream end-of-life since 4 years (2021-12-31):
But SUSE still provides security updates for this oldie. Here a fresh (2025) security update from SUSE for Python 3.6:
Ultimately, as others noted, on 15.6 it is still needed, as it’s a core package.
Leap 16.0 (at least in my Alpha install) does not appear to have this package installed.
Because of this discussion:
But possibly it is libopenssl1_0_0 which was discussed.
IDK how it is related to libopenssl1_1 and what dotNET 8 requires in the end.
Installation of .NET SDK and .NET Runtime is officially supported by Microsoft for the common codebase of SLES15 SP6, SLED15 SP6 and openSUSE Leap 15.6 (until 2025-12-31).
Please read chapter “Dependencies” in the install instructions for .NET SDK/Runtime on (open-)SUSE linux distributions:
# rpm -q --requires dotnet-runtime-deps-8.0
krb5
libicu
libopenssl1_1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
The installation of .NET SDK/Runtime on any rolling release linux distribution, like openSUSE TumbleWeed, is of course not supported by Microsoft.
