Ubuntu 21.10 上的 libssl1.1 依赖冲突

Question

I'm new to ubuntu and I'm trying to install nodejs npm but I get the error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: libssl-dev: Depends: libssl1.1 (= 1.1.1l-1ubuntu1) but 1.1.1l-1ubuntu1.1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried to install libssl1.1 via apt but ig I'm doing something wrong. Please suggest me a right code to install the right version of libssl I need, I'm on Ubuntu 21.10.

Answer 1

Try these instructions. Also it's possible libssl1.1 isn't installing on your system because you have other ssl libraries already installed and are conflicting. If they were installed from PPAs for example.

Answer 2

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.
