No, as explained in PATCH 1 of the series, it depends on your kernel configuration. If you have wireless enabled, a chain of dependency results in the need for host-openssl. If you don't have wireless enabled, you don't necessarily need host-openssl. Patch 4 in the series shows for example how the host-openssl dependency can be avoided for a Linux 4.15 configuration, by simply disabling wireless support (which isn't terribly useful for a Qemu emulation). > Can we have this selection made on a common place? I'm afraid we can't, without enforcing this dependency for a number of users who don't need it.
