[./letsencrypt-auto] chocked up on 'undefined symbol: EC_GFp_nistp224_method'

Hi all,

Thanks for you beta invitation. I started with the letsencrypt-auto script, and it threw me an error looks like something wrong with OpenSSL. Could that be a problem with the virtualenv or python, or openssl(1.0.1k 8 Jan 2015)?

Thanks

Exactly the same problem here, also on Debian Jessie with latest updates.

I tried to fix this by manually install the lets encrypt python package with my conda python.

Since then it works fine.

It looks like packages were installed to apt python, but ran by a conda python.

I’m also getting this error. I have no idea what a “conda Python” is - the only thing I have installed is a python through apt (required through another apt-only dependency), and a python built from source through Linuxbrew, which I use as my default python (although I rarely use python for personal use). I’m getting this same error with the letsencrypt-auto and installng manually through virtualenv. The only thought I have is that possibly the letsencrypt-auto is installing to the apt Python and then using the linuxbrew python (which is only in PATH through my .bash_history), or vice versa.

Update: Even ignoring my .bash_profile (which sets my PATH to the homebrew bin) makes no difference.
