It seems mongodb require specific version of libssl1.1
  • you can download debian file of that version and install using following commands. Most probably it will resolve this issue.
sudo wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
