After the system wide upgrade to OpenSSL 3, nimble no longer works and immediately fails with this error:

$ nimble
could not import: SSL_get_peer_certificate

Although it builds successfully with OpenSSL 3, it is non-functional and still requires OpenSSL 1.1.1 to work.

Installing the openssl-1.1 package makes nimble work again. Can this be added as a package dependency?

If you rebuild nim with the attached diff applied which updates nim to 1.6.8 and applies changes queued for 1.6.9 including full OpenSSL 3 support does that resolve the issue?

Yes applying the patch seems to work with OpenSSL 3 correctly even after uninstalling the openssl-1.1 package. Thanks!

Nim 1.6.10 has been released which adds support for OpenSSL 3 https://nim-lang.org/blog/2022/11/23/version-1610-released.html

Bumping this package to 1.6.10 will resolve this bug.
