    For all that still face the same problem

    1. Go to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl
    2. find the exact version of libssl for example libssl1.1.1
    3. wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.20_amd64.deb
    4. Then install
    5. sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.20_amd64.deb

    The problem should be fixed

    I’ve not dug deep enough to find the reason behind the missing libssl1.1 library, but it seems the LTS 22.04 isn’t including it for the time being.

    I wrote the following script for my systems to have it installed, as one of the tools I use to setup the system requires it.

    Hope others find this useful.

    # Find the most recent 1.1 libssl package in the ubuntu archives
BASE_URL='http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl'
FILE="$( # The get parameters in the URL sort the results by descending chronological order
    curl -s "${BASE_URL}/?C=M;O=D" $(
        # Make sure all tags are on separate lines - makes grep-work later easier 
        ) | tr '>' '>n' $(
        # extract all the unique links on the page 
        ) | grep 'href' | sed 's/^.*href="([^"]*)".*$/1/p' | awk '!a[$0]++' $(
        # pick the most relevant items on the list (libssl 1.1 for amd64 arch) 
        ) | grep "libssl" | grep "1.1_" | grep "amd64.deb" $(
        # choose only the last one 
        ) | tail -1 )"
# Grab the file and if download was successful, install it with sudo
wget "${URL_BASE}/${FILE}" && sudo dpkg -i "./${FILE}"
