  Hi,
  
  just noticed that on Noble the following openssl pkg contents are still
  pointing to contents from libssl3 instead of libssl3t64:
  
  lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2025-02-05 13:17 ./usr/share/doc/openssl/changelog.Debian.gz -> ../libssl3/changelog.Debian.gz
  lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2025-02-05 13:17 ./usr/share/doc/openssl/changelog.gz -> ../libssl3/changelog.gz
  lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2025-02-05 13:17 ./usr/share/doc/openssl/copyright -> ../libssl3/copyright
+ 
+ ================================================================================
+ 
+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+  * Users can't read the changelog and copyright files.
+ 
+  * The fix is to symlink to correct location in libssl3t64

  Hi,

  just noticed that on Noble the following openssl pkg contents are
  still pointing to contents from libssl3 instead of libssl3t64:

  lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2025-02-05 13:17 ./usr/share/doc/openssl/changelog.Debian.gz -> ../libssl3/changelog.Debian.gz
  lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2025-02-05 13:17 ./usr/share/doc/openssl/changelog.gz -> ../libssl3/changelog.gz
  lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2025-02-05 13:17 ./usr/share/doc/openssl/copyright -> ../libssl3/copyright

  ================================================================================

  [ Impact ]

   * Users can't read the changelog and copyright files.

   * The fix is to symlink to correct location in libssl3t64

  [ Test Plan ]

  * Try to read the file, it should fail because it is linking to
  incorrect path.

  ❯ /usr/bin/cat /usr/share/doc/openssl/copyright 
  /usr/bin/cat: /usr/share/doc/openssl/copyright: No such file or directory

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * I can't think of a scenario where this change will break something.

  [ Other Info ]

   * None
