@Aaryan9898 Did you solve the problem, and if so, would you mind sharing the solution? Thanks in advance.

[Aaryan9898]

Yes the following worked for me
Just Uncomment the following line putting # in /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf
[default_conf]

ssl_conf = ssl_sect

In my case, the line was not commented out. What helped me is:

$ OPENSSL_CONF=/etc/ssl phantomjs --version

Debian 10, PhantomJS 2.1.1.

I am having the same issue. None of those things worked for me :(

Just had the same issue a few moments ago. Using OPENSSL_CONF=/etc/ssl fixed it for me.

I wonder what is causing this as I didn't update any specific packages. Do you have any idea?

Most probably related to openssl-1.1.1: See https://wiki.debian.org/ContinuousIntegration/TriagingTips/openssl-1.1.1 for more information.

On Debian, the problem occurs with versions >= 10 (buster). On Ubuntu LTS with versions >= 20.04. https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/15449#issuecomment-680228630 _should_ work.

@JanTrotnow Didn't update any npm packages? OS packages? What operating system? Do you have unattended-upgrades installed?

The issue should be re-opened until we undertand it and find out, who is responsible for fixing it.

Please re-open
