Start in prerequisites.py at line 265 and inspect OpenSSLPrerequisite and its Homebrew formula check. Reproduce the prerequisite check on a system with the disabled formula, then verify that the prerequisite can be met with the supported OpenSSL formula.

Description

prerequisites.py line 265
OpenSSLPrerequisite() defines the following variable
homebrew_formula_name = "openssl@1.1"

This formula has been disabled in homebrew
(https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/openssl@1.1)

I manually changed the value to
homebrew_formula_name = "openssl@3"

Now the Prerequisite can be met.

Sorry, I didn't keep the build error.
