Runtime libraries can't usefully use metapackages the way you're proposing, and it's not conventional to do so. Whether a dependency is on libssl1.0.0 or libssl1.1 depends on what the binaries depending on them were built against; forcibly dropping in libssl1.1 would result in broken programs.
Upgrading from libssl1.0.0 to libssl1.1 was done by progressively rebuilding binaries against libssl1.1, noting that the *runtime* library packages libssl1.0.0 and libssl1.1 can be installed together (unlike their -dev counterparts). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1861304 Title: libmysqlclient-dev will not install with libssl1.0-dev To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1861304/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
