I know you have mentioned that the problem is fixed now but I feel that
it's worth mentioning a few things here:
libssl1.1 and libssl0.9.8 are completely different packages and you can
install them both at the same time. As it seems to be the only
dependency that is missing I would just download missing package that
seems to be available from Ubuntu repos:
https://pkgs.org/download/libssl0.9.8
And run apt-get install -f
It should fix your problem. The only downside (besides from using
abandonware) is that libssl0.9.8 might depend on something else and if
you decide to follow this route you might end up in a situation when
package you want to install is breaking/downgrading package from the
distribution you are using.
But as far as I remember obsolete libssl should be OK to just install
and use (and it won't have any impact on the other software).
