Ubuntu 22.04 - ValueError: unsupported hash type ripemd160 about bit

[cibermosso]

Is a problem with openssl, basically ripemd160 was dissable, if you want you can activate again:

The issue can be resolved by adding this lines to /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf:

[openssl_init]
providers = provider_sect

List of providers to load

[provider_sect]
default = default_sect
+legacy = legacy_sect

[default_sect]
activate = 1

+[legacy_sect]
+activate = 1

I wonder why this issue isn't getting more attention. It would seem like this is a breaking issue that affects a very sizable portion of users. Is it absolutely necessary to use ripemd160 or can a substitute be used that is enabled by default in OpenSSL?
