Same problem here. The reason are typos in the kopete-17.08.3-openssl-1.1.patch patch which is supposed to make the code work with openssl 1.1. There are two places where the patch does
+#if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x10100000L static BIO_METHOD methods_socket = { BIO_TYPE_BIO, "socket", @@ -98,16 +99,36 @@ static BIO_METHOD methods_socket = { }; BIO_METHOD* BIO_s_socket2() { return(&methods_socket); } +#else +static BIO_METHOD *methods_socket = NULL; + +static const BIO_METHOD * BIO_s_socket2(void) { + if (methods_socket == NULL) { + methods_socket = BIO_meth_new (BIO_TYPE_BIO | BIO_get_new_index (), "socket"); + if (methods_socket == NULL || + BIO_meth_set_write (methods_socket, socket_write) || + BIO_meth_set_read (methods_socket, socket_read) || + BIO_meth_set_puts (methods_socket, socket_puts) || + BIO_meth_set_gets (methods_socket, 0) || + BIO_meth_set_ctrl (methods_socket, socket_ctrl) || + BIO_meth_set_create (methods_socket, socket_new) || + BIO_meth_set_destroy (methods_socket, socket_free)) + return NULL; + } + return methods_socket; +} +#endif The problem are the calls to the BIO_meth_set_XXX functions. Here it's an error if the return code is 0, not != 0! Therefore a correct patch would look like +#if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x10100000L static BIO_METHOD methods_socket = { BIO_TYPE_BIO, "socket", @@ -98,16 +99,36 @@ static BIO_METHOD methods_socket = { }; BIO_METHOD* BIO_s_socket2() { return(&methods_socket); } +#else +static BIO_METHOD *methods_socket = NULL; + +static const BIO_METHOD * BIO_s_socket2(void) { + if (methods_socket == NULL) { + methods_socket = BIO_meth_new (BIO_TYPE_BIO | BIO_get_new_index (), "socket"); + if (methods_socket == NULL || + !BIO_meth_set_write (methods_socket, socket_write) || + !BIO_meth_set_read (methods_socket, socket_read) || + !BIO_meth_set_puts (methods_socket, socket_puts) || + !BIO_meth_set_gets (methods_socket, 0) || + !BIO_meth_set_ctrl (methods_socket, socket_ctrl) || + !BIO_meth_set_create (methods_socket, socket_new) || + !BIO_meth_set_destroy (methods_socket, socket_free)) + return NULL; + } + return methods_socket; +} +#endif Again, the patch contains these calls twice so please make sure to fix both occurrences. And this problem applies to both kopete 17.08.3-2 (Sid) as well as to kopete 18.08.3-1. Please fix these packages because kopete seems to be the only available Jabber client on Plasma. Telepathy doesn't work for me... Thanks! Frank
