Ubuntu 18.04 下解决 shadowsocks 服务报错问题
本文适用于 Ubuntu 18.04下由于升级 openssl 至1.1.0以上版本导致的 shadowsocks 服务出现 undefined symbol: EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup 错误而无法启动的问题。该问题的具体描述如下：
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1: undefined symbol: EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup
如官网中所描述，这是由于在openssl 1.1.0中废弃了 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() 函数而引入了 EVE_CIPHER_CTX_reset() 函数所导致的：
EVP_CIPHER_CTX was made opaque in OpenSSL 1.1.0. As a result, EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset() appeared and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() disappeared. EVP_CIPHER_CTX_init() remains as an alias for EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset().
因此，可以通过将 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() 函数替换为 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset() 函数来解决该问题。具体解决方法如下：
1、根据错误信息定位到文件 /home/feng/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/shadowsocks/crypto/openssl.py 。
2、搜索 cleanup 并将其替换为 reset 。
3、重新启动 shadowsocks, 该问题解决。
