Typing openssl version comes up with the following:



The program 'openssl' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install openssl


Typing sudo apt-get install openssl suggests it's already installed:



~$ sudo apt-get install openssl
[sudo] password for systemagic:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
openssl is already the newest version..
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 6 not to upgrade.


Trying to locate it - I can see there is a file in ./usr/bin/openssl



/$ sudo find -name "openssl"
./etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/openssl
./etc/bash_completion.d/openssl
./usr/bin/openssl
./usr/share/doc/openssl


Navigating to this directory it shows openssl as an archive file (red).



Please can you help get the command line working. The server has been patched and rebooted. Running Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS and the following are present:

    From what you show openssl is installed. Have you tried calling /usr/bin/openssl instead of just openssl? Maybe your PATH is not correctly set up.
