it doesn't matter what I type in combination with 'openssl', I always get the following error message: 

'openssl: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'

I have no idea how to fix that issue after reading many questions asked in this and in other forums.

I solved it that time only by creating a symlink and rebuilding the ldconfig cache.

ln -s libssl.so.3 libssl.so
sudo ldconfig
