[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#1065135: sort: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.3

[Steve Langasek]

Thanks for this report.

This is definitely not the behavior we want.  However, the good thing is
that the dependency from coreutils to libssl is new since bookworm.  As a
result, while this can affect users on upgrades from testing, it will not
affect upgrades from bookworm because libssl3t64 will be unpacked and
configured before the coreutils that uses it.

If we see widespread breakage from this in upgrades from testing/unstable
then we can try to figure out further mitigations.

Can you explain why 'sort' is being called at this point in your upgrade? 
Is this from an apt hook or something?
