I can't believe how stupid I am. I've been trying for days to find out why I can't install the latest openssl becasue this message (# An OpenSSL vulnerability has recently been fixed with USN-6188-1 & 6119-1:
# CVE-2023-2650: possible DoS translating ASN.1 object identifiers.
# Ensure you have updated the package to its latest version.) continues to pop up no matter what I've done.

In my defense I have had a issue with a website over online credit card and purchase and it had me a little rattled. So I'm thinking this may be the reason and Ubuntu Guys are trying to tell me something here.

Maybe I should have figured out days ago that it was just a suggestion to make sure I had the latest version (which I did check from the beginning but an online forum said I had the wrong version) but I didn't even consider that until about day 4 of seeing this message and got into some serious trouble trying to fix a problem that wasn't EVER there. I took my operating system to the point of being able to boot to the purple screen with no mouse and nothing else working. I'm baaaack without reinstalling it but it's only by the grace of god. I admit, I'm very ignorant but maybe in the future we could be a little more specific with messages of this type for the stupid like me?
Thank you
