libcrypto.so.1.1 not found on Ubuntu 14.04

Question

I don't have the library, libcrypto.so.1.1 on my Ubuntu machine. I checked on both, Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04.

My openSSL version details are:

$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014

I tried running apt-get update and then apt-get install --only-upgrade openssl however it says that openssl is already in the newest version.

It seems that this library does not come by default with the OpenSSL package if installed through Ubuntu repositories.

Solution

According to the search results on packages.ubuntu.com - the libcrypto.so.1.1 file is placed in libssl1.1 package in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (and newer versions).

So you can not get it on 14.04 and/or 16.04 from APT.

An error running docker-compose led me here. If for you as well, upgrading using pip fixed it -- sudo pip install --upgrade docker-compose.
