Comment 37 for bug 1794589

I hit this too and If I understand this correctly the only way out is now to install a custom version of nodejs and npm as both packages forces install of libssl1.0-dev and I can not allow that package in as it breaks other builds.

:( really nasty error this one. fails on 18.04 and 18.10.

any pointers to backport ppa or do I have to make this myself ?
