Given how frequently new security flaws are found in OpenSSL, I think it’s 
probably for the best that this one remain dynamically-linked.  Also, it’s 
pretty commonly available everywhere.

Right, so the problem is simply that the binary you’re running was built on a 
different host platform than the one you’re actually trying to run the binary 
on.

If I were you, I’d build my own Fossil binary on a more similar system, so that 
it *dynamically* linked to OpenSSL 1.0 rather than to 1.1.

That emphasis is because you want package upgrades to give you new OpenSSL 
fixes ASAP without requiring that you remember to — or even realize that you 
need to — relink your Fossil binary to a static OpenSSL library.

Not to mention that you say this is a Debian box, and Debian is still shipping 
Fossil 1.37, which probably isn’t what you want to be running now.

I think, it is a preferable way.


You could also use this Docker image (or just as inspiration):
https://hub.docker.com/r/dhylton/fossilrepo/

(announced in
https://www.mail-archive.com/fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org/msg27184.html
)

which builds the latest (trunk) Fossil version
statically linked against musl libc and LibreSSL (using Alpine Linux image).
