'CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "node": library "libcrypto.so.3" not found

In Termux (my_distro):

$ pkg show openssl

Replaces: openssl-tool (<< 1.1.1b-1), openssl-dev

openssl installed pkg:

For me upgrading through pkg upgr worked.

This will update packages, then during installation there will be Y/N/I type prompt, whether to upgrade or not. I added all Y.

And lastly ssh-keygen -b 4096 generated key in home. However key is small

You can also try changing the default repo mirror.

Run the following command:

termux-change-repo

This will drop the shell to an options window allowing you to select an alternative mirror. Once you have selected one, Termux should then run pkg update or apt update on its own.

For me, this solved pretty much all package related issues.

I hope it helps you too.

The google play version of Termux is deprecated.

Installing from Fdroid has solved this problem for me. https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Installation

openssl-tool may not be installed if you are running latest termux

Try running:

apt upgrade && apt update
apt install openssl-tool

Orrr... just

pkg update openssl-tool

or

apt update openssl-tool

Is the same.
