I've been trying to install lighttpd on my PC running Ubuntu 18.04. The error I keep getting is that it has unmet dependencies, namely libssl1.1. However, libssl1.1 is already installed.

   $ sudo apt-get install lighttpd
      Reading package lists... Done
      Building dependency tree       
      Reading state information... Done
      Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
      requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
      distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
      or been moved out of Incoming.
      The following information may help to resolve the situation:


  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   lighttpd : Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not going to be installed
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

The output of apt-cache policy libssl1.1 is

libssl1.1:
  Installed: 1.1.1a-2+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1
  Candidate: 1.1.1a-2+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1
  Version table:

     1.1.0g-2ubuntu4 500
        500 http://zw.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages

I'm not sure if there's anything I might be missing here.

  • I know there are problems with recent versions of libssl1.1. You could try sudo apt install libssl1.1 to see why exactly it is not going to be installed. – Jos Feb 13 '19 at 13:35
  • It's saying libssl1.1 is already installed ----- libssl1.1 is already the newest version (1.1.1a-2+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1). – Melvin M. Feb 13 '19 at 13:43
  • Please add output of apt-cache policy libssl1.1 to the question. It seems that you are using PPA. – N0rbert Feb 14 '19 at 20:14
  • Hi @N0rbert. I've added the output of apt-cache policy libssl1.1 – Melvin M. Feb 15 '19 at 08:00

I see two options:

  • Try to install libssl manually (the exact version from official repository):

    sudo apt install libssl1.1=1.1.0g-2ubuntu4.3

  • Remove ppa:ondrej/php from the system:

    sudo apt install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:ondrej/php

    and then install lighttpd

    sudo apt install lighttpd

  • The top command worked for me and downgraded my libssl version. Then my installs went as expected. – n0nag0n Aug 12 '21 at 22:42

I had the same issue. I downloaded the lighttpd .deb package and ran dpkg which gave some more insight:

libssl1.1:armhf (1.1.1a-2~20190131152537.8+stretch) breaks lighttpd (<< 1.4.49-2) and is installed.

So it looks like the libssl 1.1.1a package from deb.sury.org is too new for the lighttpd 1.4.45 that comes from debian. I removed that package source and downgraded libssl after which I could install lighttpd. Alternatively you could try to get lighttpd 1.4.49 or later.

These days Ubuntu published their new long term supported version, 22.04, and it is not possible to install mongodb because they don’t support libssl1.1 anymore I found it best way We can solve it by:

wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-6.0.asc |  gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb.gpg > /dev/null


echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb.gpg ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/6.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-6.0.list


sudo apt update


sudo apt install mongodb-org
