[Bug 2075989] Re: openssl install ends with error

[Unknown]

I was able to fix my issue by force removing openssl (dpkg --remove
--force-remove-reinstreq --force-depends openssl), purging the config
files, and reinstalling. I had to also reinstall everything that
depended on openssl, but I found instructions on how to do that before I
did the force removal. I was also not able to do the do the force
removal without an e2fsck (my hard drive is luks encrypted), so disk
corruption may been the root cause.
