libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object

    Whenever I try to launch The Powder Toy from run software I get no response. So I ran it from the console to see if any errors where occurring and it outputted "error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".
    How to I fix this? I've used the locate command and I do have the libraries needed, but it seems that the linux build of The Powder Toy cannot seem to find them.

    Which distro are you using?

    On mine (debian), I have to install the package libssl1.1

    You might have libssl1.0 installed instead?

     I'm using PopOS 22.04, I've recently upgraded from 20.04. I invoked the locate command and it does appear that I have libssl1.0. How do I get libssl1.1, because when I attempt to install it from the terminal it just tells me "E: Unable to locate package libssl1.1 E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libssl1.1'".

    (Edit: I fixed it by going to https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/libssl1.1/download and downloading the deb for the libraries there.)
