Completely remove openssl dev version

Ask Ubuntu Asked by goelakash on January 21, 2021

I installed openssl dev version from github. However, I now wish to remove it to install openssl from the official repos.

I tried to remove it using sudo apt-get remove --purge openssl but it’s still available to me through terminal.

goelakash@goelakash-acer:~/softwares$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.1.0-pre3-dev  xx XXX xxxx

How do I get rid of the this version?

Just type this command on terminal:

sudo apt-get remove openssl

I removed the executable by first finding where the current version of openssl was residing:

whereis openssl

and then reinstalling openssl

sudo apt-get install openssl
