Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported zef install --force-install --verbose Whateverable command and inspect the compilation failure at Whateverable line 28, where duplicate GLOBAL symbol SSL is reported. Verify why installation is marked failed while Whateverable remains installed, and confirm that the install result and subsequent run are consistent.
