I am using CMake for my application named Agent. After configuring and generating binaryfiles, the application was compiled using the make command and Agent.exe was created in the build directory.Then I executed the application from terminal using ./Agent command. It worked.

Then I had created Debian package for the application using CPack and efsagent.deb was created. But while trying to install the package using the command dpkg -i efsagent.deb, it fails with following error:

`dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of efsagent:
efsagent depends on libssl (>= 0.9.8); however:Package libssl is not installed.`

But libssl is already installed in my system and libssl.so.0.9.8 is in /usr/local/ssl/lib path..

How can I link the dependencies to the generated package??

If you really have to have that local obsolete OpenSSL 0.9.x - not something anyone could recommend given the security implications - use equivs to generate a dummy libssl package that will indicate its existence in the packaging system. But you should really just use the normal system OpenSSL packages to build your applications, that is, build after installing libssl-dev, and depend on the system OpenSSL library package such as libssl1.0.0.

  • I did not think that problem is related to OpenSSL version ..Because the it works from the build directory with OpenSSL 0.9.8. – user120736 Jun 25 '15 at 04:02
  • The manually built library as such is the immediate problem. The later consequences are an additional problem – Josip Rodin Jun 25 '15 at 08:16
