Openssl-dev missing

Question:
A certain Rust package requires the openssl-dev package to link to. I’ve tried several Nix package names, but none worked. How do I install openssl-dev in my repl?

Repl link/Link to where the bug appears

  error: could not find system library 'openssl' required by the 'openssl-sys' crate

  --- stderr
  Package openssl was not found in the pkg-config search path.
  Perhaps you should add the directory containing `openssl.pc'
  to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
  No package 'openssl' found


  --- stderr

  Could not find directory of OpenSSL installation, and this `-sys` crate cannot
  proceed without this knowledge. If OpenSSL is installed and this crate had
  trouble finding it,  you can set the `OPENSSL_DIR` environment variable for the
  compilation process.

  Make sure you also have the development packages of openssl installed.
  For example, `libssl-dev` on Ubuntu or `openssl-devel` on Fedora.

  If you're in a situation where you think the directory *should* be found
  automatically, please open a bug at https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl
  and include information about your system as well as this message.

Add any missing tools to replit.nix file, using the dev output if appropriate. Here, you could run in Shell:

sed -i '/  ];/i    pkgs.openssl.dev
  pkgs.pkg-config' replit.nix
