I got mongodb 5.0.9 installed on ubuntu 22.05… but boy… it was a hassle.
First you have to remove the libssl1.1 dep from:
mongodb-org-mongos_5.0.9_amd64.deb
mongodb-org-server_5.0.9_amd64.deb
mongodb-org-shell_5.0.9_amd64.deb
My bash script (that’s added below) will open the ‘nano’ editor and offer you to edit the control file specifying the deps. Your are looking for a line like this (starting with “Depends” and containing a reference to “libssl1.1”):
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.29), libcurl4 (>= 7.16.2), libgcc-s1 (>= 4.2), liblzma5 (>= 5.1.1alpha+20110809), libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.1)
Remove the reference to libssl1.1 and save & quit. It should look like this:
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.29), libcurl4 (>= 7.16.2), libgcc-s1 (>= 4.2), liblzma5 (>= 5.1.1alpha+20110809)
The script will automagically repackage the files and generate you a new package with ‘-newpackage.deb’ attached to its name:
mongodb-org-mongos_5.0.9_amd64.deb-newpackage.deb
mongodb-org-server_5.0.9_amd64.deb-newpackage.deb
mongodb-org-shell_5.0.9_amd64.deb-newpackage.deb
Now put them in a folder and install them manually with dpkg:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
After that run:
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends mongodb-org mongodb-org-database mongodb-org-tools mongodb-mongosh-shared-openssl3
Hint: You don’t need ‘mongodb-mongosh’ from the deps as it’s being replaced by ‘mongodb-mongosh-shared-openssl3’.
Afterwards I couldn’t start the mongod service:
Jun 11 18:14:11 systemd[1]: Started MongoDB Database Server.
Jun 11 18:14:11 systemd[48437]: mongod.service: Failed to determine user credentials: No such process
Jun 11 18:14:11 systemd[48437]: mongod.service: Failed at step USER spawning /usr/bin/mongod: No such process
Jun 11 18:14:11 systemd[1]: mongod.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=217/USER
Jun 11 18:14:11 systemd[1]: mongod.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Which was because of a missing user (after looking at ‘/etc/systemd/system/mongod.service’), so I added it:
sudo adduser mongodb
Edit, try, fail, repeat:
Jun 11 18:15:53 systemd[1]: Started MongoDB Database Server.
Jun 11 18:15:53 mongod[48504]: /usr/bin/mongod: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Jun 11 18:15:53 systemd[1]: mongod.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=127/n/a
Jun 11 18:15:53 systemd[1]: mongod.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Missing libcrypto from ssl 1.1…
I didn’t have the 3.0 on the system, fix that:
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
Now search for the file:
sudo find / -type f -name libcrypto.so*
link it:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.3 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.3 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1
And we got the same error for ssl1.1…
Jun 11 18:23:59 mongod[48822]: /usr/bin/mongod: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Search, link, start…
sudo find / -type f -name libssl.so.*
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.3 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1
And error (obviously - it’s 3.0, not 1.1…):
Jun 11 18:26:29 systemd[1]: Started MongoDB Database Server.
Jun 11 18:26:29 mongod[48845]: /usr/bin/mongod: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_0' not found (required by /usr/bin/mongod)
Jun 11 18:26:29 mongod[48845]: /usr/bin/mongod: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_0' not found (required by /usr/bin/mongod)

But didn’t I see a snap with 1.1 libs on the system when running the find commands? - Sure did!
$ sudo find / -type f -name libcrypto.so*
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.3
/snap/core20/1518/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1
$ sudo find / -type f -name libssl.so.*
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.3
/snap/core20/1518/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1
Let’s remove the previous link and they those…
$ sudo rm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1
$ sudo ln -s /snap/core20/1518/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1
$ sudo ln -s /snap/core20/1518/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.1
SUCCESS:
