"openssl list-cipher-commands" does not work with OpenSSL 1.1.0e; should be "openssl list -cipher-commands" about transcrypt HOT 5 CLOSED

This problem is only present in the later OpenSSL versions, mine is

OpenSSL 1.1.0e  16 Feb 2017

from transcrypt.

Specifically, here is the update that needs to be made:

validate_cipher() {
	local supported=$(openssl list -cipher-commands | tr -s ' ' '\n' | grep --line-regexp "$cipher")
	if [[ ! $supported ]]; then
		if [[ $interactive ]]; then
			printf '"%s" is not a valid cipher; choose one of the following:\n\n' "$cipher"
			openssl list -cipher-commands | column -c 80
			printf '\n'
			unset cipher
		else
			die 1 '"%s" is not a valid cipher; see `openssl list -cipher-commands`' "$cipher"
		fi
	fi
}

There are two changes:

1. openssl list -cipher-commands as mentioned above
2. openssl list -cipher-commands | tr -s ' ' '\n' | grep --line-regexp "$cipher" note the tr -s to turn the tabular data into a single column list.

If my bash-fu were better, I'd issue a PR, but I can't quite figure out how to do a conditional on the semver of openssl. i.e. openssl version | awk '{print $2}' returns the version... and we know that 1.1 is where the change broke, but I'm not quite there in bash land for parsing major / minor / patch and doing the comparison. Hopefully this is a good starting point for the author.

For now, I'm just adding it to my repo's /scripts dir.

This issue popped up for me when I tried to decrypt a new cloned repository using the provided transcrypt command from the original repo. Applying dfee's validate_cipher update fixed it for me. Using openssl 1.1.0f

I have made a PR from @thomas-hilaire's fork which has the fix for this - not sure why he didn't make it himself.

This has been resolved by #48 and a7e8aef. I'll be cutting a new release shortly, but feel free to try out the code in the master branch.
