Google Chrome Browser and libcrypto.so.1.0.0

OpenSUSE Version: 11.3
Google Chrome Version: 10.0.633.0-2.1
Lib OpenSSL Version(s): 0.9.8m-3.3.1 1.0.0-6.5.1

Here’s my story: I want to install Google’s Chrome web browser. It is awesome.

So, I went to install it from the command line:

$ sudo zypper install chromium

and everything installed without issues. Then when I went to run the browser, I got the following error from dmesg:

[112514.633400] chromium[22228]: segfault at 10 ip b18a2452 sp bfe39a98 error 4 in libcrypto.so.1.0.0[b185b000+188000]

I guess I am curious how I can reinstall libopenssl1_0_0 to see if this library is broken, without breaking all of the dependencies. As when I check to uninstall libopenssl1_0_0 there is a long list of other packages that are dependent on this package.

I haven’t tried to look this up using zypper, but this is simple using YAST.

Just open YAST, Software Management, do a search for your file or app, then click the icon to update/re-install.

HTH,
Tony
