Cannot install OpenSSL with Chocolatey
I am trying to install openssl with Chocolatey. What this message is supposed to mean?
Write-Error : OpenSSL.Light did not finish successfully.
...
Write-Error : Package 'OpenSSL.Light v1.0.1.20140411' did not install successfully: Exception calling "GetResponse" with "0" argument(s): "The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found."
I have installed a few utilities by now, but this one (OpenSSL.Light) won't work.
Thanks.
If you download the Chocolatey Package for OpenSSL.Light from the Chocolatey Package Page and open it in the Nuget Package Explorer, you will see the following:
The url and url64bit variables are the URL's that are used by Chocolatey to perform the installation on your PC, based on the processor architecture. If you try to access either of these URL's you will find that they result in an HTTP 404.
It is likely that when this package was created, these URL's worked correctly, however, "something" has since changed on the website that means that they no longer work.
In these situations, there is an established triage process for dealing with packages that are no longer working. You can find details of this here.
Perhaps the quickest way to getting this fixed would be to issue a pull request to IrisStyle, one of the current maintainers of the package. You can find his Github Repository here. If you do proceed down this route, and you don't hear anything back, then please refer to the triage process described earlier.
