I just ran into this issue also. Turns out the extra /usr/local/bin/openssl came from chromebrew. It seems to always install this when it is installed. I removed it with crew remove openssl and then encryption worked fine, no need to powerwash.

Ok. I’m going to close this. If this is a real issue I’m sure other people will end up reporting it, and we can reopen.

I’m really unclear how you ended up with a separate copy of openssl in /usr/local…

I suspect removing/moving away /usr/local/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 will fix your problem.

You could also power-wash your Chromebook, that’ll remove all these files in /usr/local (including your chroots and files in Downloads, so please back them up).
