RE: OpenSSL@1.1 not getting linked with Homebrew - trying to install postgresql

Hello Adrian,

As suggested from another user, I am going to reinstall and upgrade my OS to Catalina, which is better supported.
Then I will follow the steps with homebrew and hopefully this will clean the mess I am in 😉
Thanks for your answer!

My system is OS Mojave 10.14.6, I got homebrew from this command :

when I try to install postgresql with the command
brew install postgresql

I have this error:

Error: An exception occurred within a child process:
RuntimeError: /usr/local/opt/openssl(at)1(dot)1 not present or broken
Please reinstall openssl(at)1(dot)1<mailto:openssl(at)1(dot)1>. Sorry :(

When I try to install openssl(at)1(dot)1<mailto:openssl(at)1(dot)1> I have this message:

Note that the error message is literally asking you to:

brew reinstall openssl(at)1(dot)1<mailto:openssl(at)1(dot)1>

not:

brew install openssl(at)1(dot)1<mailto:openssl(at)1(dot)1>

and not:

brew reinstall openssl

Do the reinstall and see if the postgresql formula works now. If it still doesn't work, the Homebrew discussions forum is a more appropriate place to follow up: https://github.com/Homebrew/discussions/discussions

Also:

brew link openssl(at)1(dot)1<mailto:openssl(at)1(dot)1>

and all the exports you said you added to your .zshrc should not be needed, so you should:

brew unlink openssl(at)1(dot)1<mailto:openssl(at)1(dot)1>

and revert all your additions.
