Hey Orkhan, we still haven't figured out why this is happening.

Since I haven't seen this mistake in person I'm also not sure how to fix it. Are you willing to try some back-and-forth to try to work this out?

Try:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libssl1.0.0

If the first two worked, try also running:
sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade

Can you please paste back the full output from running these commands?

Thanks
