`v2.1.2+cu118` and `v2.1.1+cu118` run into torchdata `ImportError: libssl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`, that `v2.1.0+cu118` doesn't have an issue with

🐛 Describe the bug

We are noticing a strange error specifically when using torch2.1.1+cu118 and torch2.1.2+cu118 , that is not an issue with torch2.1.0+cu118.

The error looks like this:

It seems like there's some complaint about torchdata, which seems to install with urllib3>2.0.

When trying to install with urllib3==1.26.16 to try to mitigate the libssl.so error, then we get a different error:

This suggests a different incompatibility (perhaps from deepspeed?).

Anyway, it seems like torch 2.1.0+cu118 doesn’t require the newest version of torchdata and/or it seems to work with urllib3==1.26.16, which appears to mitigate our issues.

However, the errors when trying to use 2.1.1+cu118 and 2.1.2+cu118 his seemed weird to me, so raising it here in case anyone had any helpful tidbits!

Versions

2.1.0+cu118 (works)
2.1.1+cu118 (broken)
2.1.2+cu118 (broken)

The report names torchdata/init.py and torchdata/_extension.py in the failing import chain; start by reproducing the libssl.so.3 failure with PyTorch 2.1.1+cu118 and 2.1.2+cu118, then compare it with 2.1.0+cu118. Check the urllib3 downgrade traceback as a separate compatibility case; done means the affected dependency combinations and regression scope are confirmed.
