Error on configuring

Try adding DEBIAN_FRONTEND=readline to the command line:

# DEBIAN_FRONTEND=readline dpkg --configure libssl1.0.0

I suspect this isn't related to openssl.

Thanks

Now I'm getting this:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I'm going to mark this bug as a Invalid on the openssl side since the issue is more likely with debconf or at least makes more sense to handle from there or the like.

Btw, I've gone over many years of openssl tickets on launchpad and I've marked several tickets as duplicate of this bug, which explains the high karma/affects.

And searching for "new" on the debconf tracker returns a number of other results.
