package libssl1.0.0:amd64 1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.6 failed to install/upgrade: package libssl1.0.0:amd64 is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status 'half-installed')

[Erik Thomas]

I tried to install 'electrum' application by copy and pasting sudo apt-get install python-qt4 python-pip (in the Terminal Emulator) from website https://electrum.org/#download.

I had problems with updating ubuntu studio last week. OS will not update now. I think it was because I auto-installed a bitcoin wallet called exodus which is partly non-open-source. I have v1.28.2 installed. It works but doesn't seen fully installed.

https://www.exodus.io/releases/

When I try to update exodus a problem occurs with mozilla.

Thanks
