Comment 1 for bug 155784

Hi there
The .so link is provided by the libssl-dev package, in the case of mumble which isn't provided natively in ubuntu yet, you probably need the libssl-dev package in order to compile the applications, but in cases which the packages are provided by the distribution, the applications look for the correct version of the library, so there's no need to have libssl0.9.8 providing this link.

Hope this answer satisfy you. if you find an official packaged applications who can't be installed because of the lack of presence of this link, please report it, but by the meantime i'll mark this bug as invalid, since the package isn't really provided in Ubuntu. Thanks for report this issue and help to make Ubuntu better, please feel free to report any future bugs you might found
