BBOSAK: I looked at that file but I did not see where a change needed to be made, so I left it alone.

Pam: I tried those two commands but it made no difference. It still thinks 1.0.1c is the newest.

Open terminal and type:

Code: Select all

curl https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz | tar xz && cd openssl-1.0.1g && sudo ./config && sudo make && sudo make install

Note: The above command will download the new openssl source package and compile it from scratch.


Next replace the old binary file...

Code: Select all

sudo ln -sf /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl `which openssl`

Then check whether its upgraded...

Code: Select all

dpkg -l | grep "openssl"

Thanks pam, that got it!

I had already tried downloading the source but didn't do everything with "sudo" and I didn't know about the command to replace the binary. Now it reports 1.0.1g as it should. Cheers.
