Openssl command not found

Hi,

Branch: Warrior
Mender: 2.2.%

I am following the tutorial for integrating mender with google cloud Mender OTA GCP Tutorial. There is a recipe that modifies the process for generating the certificates which is a follow :
#!/bin/sh

if [ ! -e /var/lib/mender/mender-agent.pem ]; then
# Normally Mender will create the private key on startup if it doesn't exist.
# This script is used to manually create the key outside of the Mender client.
#
# This is invoked by systemd as an ExecStartPre step for Mender.
#
# This is to allow proper sequencing of initialization steps with the Google
# Cloud integration as both Mender and GCP are sharing the same key. We have
# a state script to disallow Mender server connections until the GCP setup
# for preauthorization has completed. If we allow the normal client initialization
# to generate the certificate, then it will be too late for GCP.
#
cd /tmp
/usr/sbin/mender-keygen-client > /dev/null
mv keys-client-generated/private.key /var/lib/mender/mender-agent.pem
openssl rsa -in /var/lib/mender/mender-agent.pem -pubout  -out /var/lib/mender/rsa_public.pem
chmod 600 /var/lib/mender/mender-agent.pem /var/lib/mender/rsa_public.pem
rm -rf keys-client-generated/
fi

But it fails to work because Openssl utility command is missing which is strange since the recipe RDEPENDS on it and I have also added it to the image depency like this :

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "\
	openssl \
	mender-gcp-delay-server-connection \
    mender-google-activation-agent \
"

What I am missing ? Doesn’t the mender client require also openssl to generate the key ?

Hi @Austriker, I think you need to use openssl-bin to get the actual openssl executable.
