Unfortunately, yes. Right now.

During the release process, OpenSSL was upgraded. Not all package builders
seems to be in sync. Please note that PowerPC is not a Tier 1 platform...

On the constructive side: You can build the port yourself, that works
without any problems. I have done that on my machines...

I'm sure that once 12.0 is released, the packages provided will be in tune
with the version.

Not only PowerPC is affected, also some other platforms not being Tier 1.
