fatal error: openssl/bio.h: No such file or directory

Question

I have tried to recompile the kernel with make command for config but this error occured:

scripts/extract-cert.c:21:10: fatal error: openssl/bio.h: No such file or directory
 #include <openssl/bio.h>

So then a i have tried install libssl-dev:

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:
 libssl-dev : Depends: libssl1.1 (= 1.1.1b-1ubuntu2) but 1.1.1b-1ubuntu2.1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Can anyone tell me how can i fix my dependecies? And why do I have them broken?

Solution

Try to install aptitude and use this tool for downgrading of libssl-dev.

$ sudo apt-get install aptitude

After this step use aptitude to downgrade your to 1.1.1b-1ubuntu2 from 1.1.1b-1ubuntu2.1

$ sudo aptitude install libssl-dev

Choose carefully the option. This will solve your problem.
