john-the-ripper-1.6.2 doesn't install on systems with openssl 1.1

Hi,

john-the-ripper-1.6.2 is using john-1.8.0-jumbo-1, as shown at https://openbenchmarking.org/innhold...1c9ef8f972764a

https://github.com/magnumripper/John...er/issues/2355 was resolved at john-1.9.0-jumbo-1.

Would you consider updating the pts/john-the-ripper test to using john-1.9.0-jumbo-1?

Thanks,
-James

Thanks for reporting jamesc ! I had been annoyed as well for a while JTR wasn't building against OpenSSL 1.1. I didn't realize though a new JTR update was released last month. I should be able to get the test profile updated this weekend.

Thanks Michael for your super quick response! Look forward to the new version of the JTR test.

The updated test profile is now pushed out. It should be pts/john-the-ripper-1.7.0 that contains the new JtR. (If you used your PTS client in the past 24 hours you may need to manually run `phoronix-test-suite openbenchmarking-refresh` before running the john-the-ripper benchmark command will see the new version.)

Wow, that's quick! It's working now. :-) Thank you so much, Michael, and you have a great weekend!
