root works because there are still OpenSSL libraries in 10.11—but no headers.
Something like
sudo -s
<password>
for PKG in `fink list -it | cut -f 2` ; do fink install $PKG ; done
will proceed around any failed packages.
The project is not proceeding unilaterally to fix the packages where OpenSSL is
a problem. We are trying to have the packages’ maintainers of record do these
updates (or at least bother to let us know that they’re done maintaining
packages). Letting the maintainers of packages that fail know about the issue
would be helpful, since they may not be on 10.11 or have followed the
development discussions.
