Thanks to Erico bringing attention to it https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/merge_requests/852 openssl is no longer a dependency for builds on linux and msys2.
This was a holdover from curl linking openssl < 1.1.0 which necessitated the end application implementing thread locks and curl did not implement them either. Since our supported platforms have openssl 1.1.0 or higher, the resulting code is no longer required in kicad. Additionally, the requirement of openssl never made sense for several linux platforms that build curl with alternative ssl libraries such as gnutls, boringssl, etc. We still use curl and are going to land new functionality using it for v6 and v7. -- Mark
