If you are in MacOS 10.15 (Catalina), try this (reinstall openssl):

brew update && brew upgrade
brew uninstall openssl
brew install https://github.com/tebelorg/Tump/releases/download/v1.0.0/openssl.rb

Nice one, seems like the the new brew formula is broken, can't link it, etc. This works. – Computer's Guy Dec 08 '19 at 03:26

If having `openssl` already installed. Please uninstall it using `brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl`. And then do `brew install https://github.com/tebelorg/Tump/releases/download/v1.0.0/openssl.rb` – jayiitb Jan 03 '20 at 04:35

If it is already installed, you can run `brew reinstall openssl@1.1` – Raphael Pinel Mar 10 '20 at 07:32
little late to Party, But I can confirm this works perfectly on Mojave as I had to downgrade to Mojave from Catalina because of hibernate not working on Catalina anymore. – Asad ullah Mar 30 '20 at 20:53

In Xcode 11.4 on macOS 10.5.4 (Catalina), this worked for building but when running my app, Xcode would complain that libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib "has no cdhash, completely unsigned". My updated project had Hardened Runtime enabled so I had to also enable "Disable Library Validation" in "Runtime Exceptions" in the "Signing & Capabilities" tab for my target. – Jon Apr 15 '20 at 13:33
```brew update && brew upgrade``` solved the issue on Catalina as well. Thank you! – youngpanda Jan 25 '21 at 10:28

Thanks unifreak, I fixed this problem on macOS v10.11.6 at Tue Apr 28 2020 again.

REF: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59224109/686105

Update homebrew index and upgrade. (option)

[ chusiang@osx_el_capitan ~ ]
$ brew update && brew upgrade

Try to remove the openssl@1.1.

[ chusiang@osx_el_capitan ~ ]
$ brew uninstall openssl@1.1
Error: Refusing to uninstall /usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1g

You can override this and force removal with:
  brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl@1.1

Remove the openssl@1.1 with --ignore-dependencies args.

$ brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl@1.1
Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1g... (8,052 files, 18.4MB)

Install the specific version of openssl v1.0.0.

[ chusiang@osx_el_capitan ~ ]
$ brew install https://github.com/tebelorg/Tump/releases/download/v1.0.0/openssl.rb

Lock the openssl version with v1.0.0.

[ chusiang@osx_el_capitan ~ ]
$ brew pin https://github.com/tebelorg/Tump/releases/download/v1.0.0/openssl.rb

Add this openssl into $PATH.

[ chusiang@osx_el_capitan ~ ]
$ echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

Apply this change of $PATH.

[ chusiang@osx_el_capitan ~ ]
$ source ~/.bash_profile

DONE.

$ openssl version

I had the same problem. In my case, for a legacy Rails 2.4 app. It seems brew had updated /usr/local/opt/openssl to symlink to openssl@1.1/1.1.1d.

After trying several other things, I fixed it by manually updating the symlink /usr/local/opt/openssl to point to the 1.0.2s version that was already on my system:

MacBook-Pro/usr/local/opt(:|✔) % pwd
/usr/local/opt
MacBook-Pro/usr/local/opt(:|✔) % ll openssl*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 dhempy  admin  24 Feb 19 11:36 openssl -> ../Cellar/openssl/1.0.2s
lrwxr-xr-x  1 dhempy  admin  28 Feb 19 08:55 openssl@1.1 -> ../Cellar/openssl@1.1/1.1.1d

Hopefully this is one-and-done for me, and I won't have to reapply that symlink after every update.

Three years later, this has proven to be a one-and-done for me, and I don't have to reapply that symlink after every update. — David Hempy, Feb 21 '23 at 20:37

Warning: Some installed formulae are missing dependencies.
You should `brew install` the missing dependencies:

This is the process I had to use to fix this issue. I am not sure how to use brew extract correctly.

We need openssl in order to use wget.

brew install openssl

Now, download version 1.0.2t and install it.

wget https://github.com/tebelorg/Tump/releases/download/v1.0.0/openssl.rb
brew install openssl.rb

I tried each and every one of these answers and still was getting the error from question.

Solution was to:

brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl@<any&all brew ssl versions>
remove the files manually from /usr/local/etc (the locations of these are listed after step 1)
remedy the $PATH error: aka tell ssh command where it should be looking, by adding export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin to ~/.zshrc or ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc depending on what shell you use.

hope this helps someone.
