[WARN] error: unknown module name, OpenSSL error

I restarted a VPS running Tor guard/middle service and received the following messages on Nyx:

 08:47:36 [WARN] TLS error: unknown module name (in configuration file routines:module_run:---)
 │ 08:47:36 [WARN] TLS error: error loading dso (in configuration file routines:module_load_dso:---)
 │ 08:47:36 [WARN] TLS error: could not load the shared library (in DSO support routines:DSO_load:---)
 │ 08:47:36 [WARN] TLS error: could not load the shared library (in DSO support routines:dlfcn_load:---)
 │ 08:47:36 [WARN] Unhandled OpenSSL errors found at ../src/lib/tls/tortls.c:190:

Does anyone have experience with this?

I have the same warning on two separate Ubuntu machines. it started happening since I upgraded Ubuntu to 22, and to latest Tor and obfs4 proxy (yes, these are bridges) (0.4.7.13 and 0.0.13-1 respectively).

There is also

We compiled with OpenSSL 1010106f: OpenSSL 1.1.1f  31 Mar 2020 and we are running with OpenSSL 1010106f: 1.1.1f. These two versions should be binary compatible.

I didn’t bother checking what’s up though, the bridges seem to be functional.
