The Groovy Gorilla has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
** Changed in: libffi (Ubuntu Groovy) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to libffi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1903890 Title: libffi7 missing from Ubuntu (pip's python3-openssl appears to be built against the wrong version of libffi) Status in libffi package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in libffi7 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in pyopenssl package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in libffi source package in Groovy: Won't Fix Status in libffi7 source package in Groovy: Triaged Status in pyopenssl source package in Groovy: Invalid Bug description: Ubuntu groovy and up upgraded to libffi8ubuntu1, thus making Ubuntu incompatible with 3rd-party binaries that desire to use libffi7. Let's backport and provide libffi7 runtime library only, for those. Not sure how that would work with ctypes though. --- I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 20.10 which comes with python3-openssl version 19.0.1-2. It breaks (at least some) Python applications that use the `requests` library to access HTTPS URLS.
