Hello On SLES12 SP5, default version of openssl is 1.0.2, and 1.1.1 is optional. Is it possible to modify the default version on 1.1.1 ? (and still have official support…) ---

@Frederic Hi, what makes you think it’s not supported? I see it coming from the update repository? ```auto Version 1.1.1d-2.23.1 License OpenSSL Architecture x86_64 Repository SLES12-SP5-Updates ``` ---

1.1.1 is brought from the update repository, no issue on it but I wonder if we could have only this version installed, no 1.0. ---

@Frederic Hi, have you tried uninstalling the older versions? (I don’t have 12 SP5 machine to check). ---

Yes, I tried a zypper rm openssl-1\_0\_0 or openssl and it asks to uninstall 80+ libraries (with zypper, yast2, etc…) : ![](https://forums.suse.com/uploads/editor/yh/ot0f1rt5rtws.png) ---

@Frederic Hi You need to look at the specific versions to uninstall… eg 1.0.2p-1.13 Use `zypper se -si openssl` ---

Hi ! zypper se -si gives me the installed package but how to remove a specific version such as openssl 1.0.2p ? (zypper rm openssl gives me same result as for openssl-1\_0\_0) ---

@Frederic Hi, should be the name, version and the arch from the `-si` output, for example; `zypper rm openssl-1.0.2p-1.13.x86_64` ---

it doesn’t work… or rather it works like the previous one : it asks to uninstall the same 83 packages. ---

@Frederic It’s a noarch not a x86\_64, but there shouldn’t be any issues, CVE’s are backported, so you can always check the changelogs or SSC → My Tools for more information. ---
