I use: 

apt-get remove

To remove some software, but it displays:

error:E: Internal Error, No file name for libssl1.0.0 .

I also try this to resolve the error:

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/102991621/libssl1.0.0_1.0.0e-2ubuntu4.5_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.0.0_1.0.0e-2ubuntu4.5_i386.deb

But it also gives an error :

 libssl1.0.0:i386 1.0.0e-2ubuntu4.5 cannot be configured because libssl1.0.0:amd64 is in a different version (1.0.1-4ubuntu5.3)

I want know the correct way to solve this problem.

For me this works:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Src: E: dpkg was interrupted... run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'

Reboot then,

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

I hope it works for you too!

    Worked for me. The installation of an update was interrupted by a full disk and after making room 'dpkg --configure -a' was enough to continue the installation. – Martijn Heemels Jun 10 '14 at 10:31

I also encountered this error on Ubuntu 12.04. I fixed it with the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

    installing all packages in /var/cache/apt/archives is dangerous and unnecessary. – user72421 Jul 29 '12 at 20:27
  • might be dangerous but it worked like a charm. Thank you Eliah Kagan and user80001. I sure hope this dependancy hell with multiarch get's solved quickly. This is the second system that has been hosed by this problem and cost me several valueable hours to fix. – Kat Amsterdam Jul 31 '12 at 18:46
  • remember that with multi-arch all arches of the same package must be the same version. – user72421 Aug 02 '12 at 18:24
  • Worked for me too. And I don't think installing all packages from that directory is dangerous in this case. The apt-get clean takes care of that. – Pablo Oct 05 '12 at 10:57
  • dpkg: error: cannot access archive '/var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb': No such file or directory – John Smith Nov 10 '23 at 01:34

use dpkg -i on both of these:

http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.0.0_1.0.1-4ubuntu5.3_i386.deb
http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.0.0_1.0.1-4ubuntu5.3_amd64.deb

My problem stemmed from an unmet dependency for rhythmbox. Just the following 3 commands got rid of the dependency and error. These are from a previous posting.

error: E: Internal Error, No file name for libssl1.0.0

I just entered

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get install -f

If the suggestion

sudo dpkg --configure -a

does not work for you, try to reinstall both packages libssl1.0.0:i386 and libssl1.0.0:amd64. You might have to force this because you temporarily break dependencies until these packages will have been reinstalled with the fourth of the followting command:

sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends libssl1.0.0:i386
sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends libssl1.0.0:amd64
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
