Depends: libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8m-1) but it is not installable
I was setting up a webserver on Debian 7 but ran in to a dependency issue for nginx. It said I needed libssl0.9.8. Well I had libssl1.0.x which left me wondering was it in compatible. Yes it is. I needed to download the deb and install it.
root@web1:\~\# apt-get install nginx nginx-light php5-fpm php5-gd
php5-curl php5-mysql libssl-dev
