[Solved] Can't find unit opensslsockets.

[roxim22037@pro5g.com]

Windows 10 x86_64
FPC 3.2.2 x86_64
Lazarus 2.2.4 Win64 x86_64

I've been trying to install the LNet library via OnlinePackageManager but it fails at the point of rebuilding Lazarus with this error message.

opensslsockets.pp(81,12) Fatal: Can't find unit opensslsockets used by opkman_downloader

I've tried using different versions of FPC with no success.

Anyone got an idea to get around this?

I had same problem with my FPCUpdDeluxe installation, I have not found out what it cause but when I install/add a package via OnlinePackageManager it seems that the package file for OPM itself get corrupt and "loose" important path settings in FPC or Lazarus Configuration File(s).
All I can say, LNet was also one of the packages I had checked to install.
Since I wanted to continue without knowing what to do, I deleted my old installation and let installer create a new one.

This was my error log after installing packages, LNet also.
And picture show what happen when you not clean up before you do use FPCUpdelux and think it will install correct

I fixed lnet in OPM. Please try again.



@KodeZwerg

it seems that the package file for OPM itself get corrupt and "loose" important path settings in FPC or Lazarus Configuration File(s).

Oh boy!    I agree that OPM has it's own quirks and peculiarities, but definitely did not get corrupt. Here is what happened:
Lnet provides its own version of openssl, which is just a copy of some old synapse unit. Since FPC also has a version of synapse and implicitly openssl.pas, the system(LazarusIDE) got confused. It's all there in the message window. The fun part is I always get the blame for unmaintained packages.

All I can say, LNet was also one of the packages I had checked to install.

Yes, unfortunately LNet dragged the whole IDE down.

Since I wanted to continue without knowing what to do, I deleted my old installation and let installer create a new one.

Please don't delete you installation next time. There is always lazarus.old.exe in the Lazarus main folder, just replace the newly created exe with the old one. When you install multiple packages and something goes wrong, replace the exe, then install the packages one by one until you find the culprit package.

@GetMem
Thank you so much!
It works now.

[KodeZwerg]

Yeah I am absolute no professional in belonging to deal with FPC/Lazarus when something bad happen, not matter if on my own faults (99% of the time) or somebody else fault (the missing 1%) but that error message was just so ridiculous and driving me crazy at same time, because I was not watching from what path something is taken, I just read "loading unit opensslsockets.ppu, unit opensslsockets can not find unit opensslsockets.pp" = w.t.f. 

After re-install I found out that it should have been enough to delete that problematic line out of one of the configuration files (a package configuration file I guess)

Anyway, I am glad that informations helped to isolate and fix that nasty error, thank you GetMem 
(I wonder if the rebuild IDE process is able to log package installations and when a package fail, to mark it temp as bad to investigate things but letting IDE compile or Roll-back to *.bak.exe version)
