I have compiled Xtrabackup 8.0.28-21 from source with OpenSSL 1.1.1p but I have upgraded a system that only uses OpenSSL 3.0.5 [3.x series]. But whenever I try to compile Xtrabackup, it now shows the following message

Make sure you have specified a supported SSL version.
Valid options are :
system (use the OS openssl library),
yes (synonym for system),
</path/to/custom/openssl/installation>

CMake Error at cmake/ssl.cmake:61 (MESSAGE):
  Please install the appropriate openssl developer package.

```

Is the latest Xtrabackup not compatible with OpenSSL 3.xx? I also tried compiling with -DWITH\_SSL=yes or -DWITH\_SSL=/usr and still the same issue.

Did you verify that you have the libssl-dev packages installed?
