I have upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04.1 to Ubuntu 20.04.1 (forced release upgrade), then while installing php.7-4 it was necessary to also install libssl-dev, that gave the following unmet dependencies:

sudo apt install libssl-dev
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libssl-dev : Depends: libssl1.1 (= 1.1.1f-1ubuntu2) but 1.1.1g-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 is to be installed

  • I have disable the repositories: ondrej and certbot. The remaining repositories are the default for focal fossa (20.04.1)

  • Clean up repository e.g (apt update --fix-missing)

But sill the same problem.

The issues is with the letter version of libssl1.1 (= 1.1.1f-1ubuntu2) that needs to be downgraded. It was simple to do it with synaptic instead of apt install as follows:

sudo aptitude install libssl-dev

he following NEW packages will be installed:
  libssl-dev{b} 
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 1.582 kB of archives. After unpacking 8.005 kB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libssl-dev : Depends: libssl1.1 (= 1.1.1f-1ubuntu2) but 1.1.1g-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 is installed
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     libssl-dev [Not Installed]

    Thank you! Tried it with synaptic, nothing worked except your solution. Strange thing is is that on an 20.04 ubuntu installation from last month it works out of the box. A fresh install from Ubuntu 20.04 I get this issue.
