How to make utserver run in ubuntu 19

I have downloaded utorrent from

wget -O ~/Downloads/utserver.tar.gz

but I am getting the error

utserver: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have checked and noticed that I do have libssl - but a newer version:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 3 13:50 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so -> libssl.so.1.1"

Any advice on how to make utserver work with my libssl version?

From Ubuntu 19 on wards libssl 1.1.1 is the default package available in the repositories.That is why it was working fine in Ubunutu 18 and having issues with Ubuntu 19. Here is a temporary work around for this situation.

To fix it you have to install libssl1.0.0 in Ubuntu 19. Follow the below steps:

cd /etc/apt/
sudo gedit sources.list

Add following lines to end of the file and save it.

#Bionic support
deb bionic main restricted
deb bionic universe
deb bionic multiverse

Run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libssl1.0.0

If error pops for multiarch-support

sudo apt install multiarch-support

Note: Once libssl1.0 is installed remove the #Bionic support lines from the /etc/apt/source.list file. So that there is no issues with future upgrades of packages.
