I upgraded my system from fedora 25 to 26 and now mendeley desktop fails to open. I was using the version 1.16 (with latest updates). Even the latest version (1.17.10) does not work. When I run it from the terminal this is the message I'm getting:

I have `openssl`, `openssl-devel` (version 1:1.1.0f-7), `qt` and `qtwebkit` installed. Cannot figure out the problem. I know I should ask this question in Mendeley support and I did but there is no response. As such, the support site has some problems.
