E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

No amount of updating or fix-missing will work. I have installed several other packages - but how can I get this one?

Answer 1

On "Raspbian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy)" you need to first do an "upgrade". So the following should work.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev 

Answer 2

"Failed to fetch http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl-dev_1.0.1e-2+rpi1_armhf.deb 404 Not Found"

Thats not the current version (by a long way), so it sounds like your package lists are out of date. Normally "apt-get update" would be used to update them.

You say "no ammount of updating helped" but you don't post the actual output from apt-get update so it's rather difficult to say exactly why it's not working in your case.

Answer 3

I have been 3 days working over my email sending routines... I am using Lazarus 1.6 with Freepascal 3.0... and Raspbian Stretch I am using xmailer as it has an easy component to send emails. To make it work I did the following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libssl1.0-dev

Answer 4

This is sort of a hack solution but it's what I'd do if I were in this situation.

That directory contains three libssl-dev packages, only one of them is for 1.0.1e, so that should be the one you want.

wget http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl-dev_1.0.1e-2+rvt+deb7u17_armhf.deb

You can then install it manually:

sudo dpkg -i openssl/libssl-dev_1.0.1e-2+rvt+deb7u17_armhf.deb

I'm not sure whether dpkg cares about dependencies, but the INFO file inside the package only lists two, a corresponding libssl and zlib1g-dev.

Before you do that, if you have not, I would do a sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade and retry apt-get install libssl-dev. Also note that openSSL 1.0.1e is susceptible to the Heartbleed bug, if this is significant to what you are building you may want to upgrade somehow (there's a 1.0.1k in that directory too, which might be for jessie).

Answer 5

Try:

sudo apt-get install libssl1.0.0/trusty libssl-dev/trusty openssl/trusty

from:Unable to install libssl1.0.0:i386 due to “unmet dependencies”?

Answer 6

I keep facing with issue of Hash Sum mismatch with apt-get update with the default sources list.

By changing to another raspbian mirror which is close to where I am, I can finally install the libssl-dev.
