    What is your Ubuntu version? Why do you need outdated libssl0.9.8 to be installed? Which application needs it? – N0rbert Dec 31 '21 at 08:10
  • My version of ubuntu is 20.04 and I need it to install the ClamAV antivirus – Exatoon27 Dec 31 '21 at 19:43
  • ClamAV is packaged https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/clamav . You are inventing new bicycle with rectangular wheels. – N0rbert Dec 31 '21 at 20:06
