I did a fresh FREEBSD 12 BETA 4 install and executed 'pkg'. The binary was downloaded automatically, but it doesn't work as libssl.so.8 is not found. I created a symlinks to libssl.so.8 -> libssl.so and libcrypto.so.8 -> libcrypto.so manually and found the following issue: # pkg update Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... pkg: Repository FreeBSD load error: access repo file(/var/db/pkg/repo-FreeBSD.sqlite) failed: No such file or directory Fetching meta.txz: 100% 944 B 0.9kB/s 00:01 ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libpkg.so.4: Undefined symbol "SSL_load_error_strings"
(In reply to alfredo.junior@eldorado.org.br from comment #0) Install OpenSSL 1.1.0 or 1.1.1 and links the libs like you did
(In reply to Nathan from comment #1) I forgot to mention. Install OpenSSL via ports
(In reply to Nathan from comment #2) Nathan, I verified with /usr/ports/security/openssl111 and it doesn't work. libssl.so.111 also doesn't contains 'SSL_load_error_strings' symbol
(In reply to alfredo.junior@eldorado.org.br from comment #3) worked with the one from /usr/ports/security/openssl, retrieved using portsnap tool (It uses openssl-1.0.2p_2,1). And I created the following symlink: ln -s /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.9 /usr/lib/libssl.so.8 # pkg update Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... pkg: Repository FreeBSD load error: access repo file(/var/db/pkg/repo-FreeBSD.sqlite) failed: No such file or directory Fetching meta.txz: 100% 944 B 0.9kB/s 00:01 Fetching packagesite.txz: 100% 130 KiB 132.8kB/s 00:01 Processing entries: 100% FreeBSD repository update completed. 541 packages processed.

This is still a problem in the RELEASE 12.0 version for ppc64. hydra# uname -aU FreeBSD hydra 12.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE r341666 GENERIC powerpc 1200086 hydra# hydra# pkg query The package management tool is not yet installed on your system.

Clearly a problem for arm also : see 234481
For what it's worth, I found the following workaround: # pkg-static install -f pkg
Same issue for FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI3.img.xz # ldd /usr/local/sbin/pkg /usr/local/sbin/pkg: ... libssl.so.8 => not found (0) libcrypto.so.8 => not found (0) ... libssl.so.8 => not found (0) libcrypto.so.8 => not found (0) ... -------------------------------------- How to deal with it: Just, pkg-static install security/openssl pkg-static install -f pkg Please release a new img to repair it.
This issue still on FreeBSD-12.1-STABLE-arm64-aarch64-RPI3-20200206-r357605. ----------------- ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libssl.so.8" not found, required by "pkg"
freebsd is running on raspberry pi 3+ and i try to run postfix but i always getting same error "ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libcrypto.so.8" not found, required by "postfix"" could you please provide me if if this problem can be solved in a shot time ? thanks.
NO，use 13.0
You can make soft links for both libs from which You have installed ones in base. If I remember it right: ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.111 /usr/lib/libssl.so.8; ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.111 /lib/libcrypto.so.8; In my case it worked fine. It makes the 'pkg update|upgrade' possible. ...and, yes, I use 13.0 now - no updates for packages too long.
Thank Alexander, it is working now. ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.111 /usr/lib/libssl.so.8; ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.111 /lib/libcrypto.so.8;
'pkg bootstrap -f' worked for me then 'pkg update|upgrade'
