Re: Issues with the latest minor updates and Alma/Rocky 9 and 10

Hi,

I think I fixed this problem. Rocky Linux / Alma Linux 9 and 10 users
please enable sysupdates repo first. You may need a recent repository
RPM/configuration (pushed a new repository RPM today as well) . That
repo now includes OpenSSL 3.5.1 along with LLVM/CLANG 20, crypto-
policies, etc and all of them have PGDG suffix in the package names. My
tests were successful on my test boxes.

Regards, Devri
