OpenSSL_jll and undefined symbol: EVP_idea_cbc errors

[lazzarello]

This is mostly informational but I've given some time to a strange bug between the way py-julia and OpenSSL_jll interact with some versions of the binary library libssl.so. The solution is to downgrade OpenSSL_jll to a version from around 2020.

I don't know exactly how this is happening but I added the most detail in the Openssl_jll repo. There are other projects outside of my own that link to a version of libssl that is too new and throw the same error.

My recommendation would be to consider the JLL override mechanism using Overrides.toml or Local Preferences.toml for this purpose.

thanks I'll check those out. I'm about three months into my Julia adventure and there's a lot to learn.
